Smaller than both of them.
Reed has Robinson in height, Polamalu has him in both height and weight.
Robinson's college reel features him getting run over constantly because he simply lacks the power that these other guys have.
Yup. He needs to hit the weight room hard.
He's listed at 5' 10, 195 lbs. Polamalu listed at 5' 10 207lbs. Ed Reed 5' 11 200lbs. We are talking about 5-10lbs difference and 1 inch.
He's 5'9 and 193lbs. He's significantly smaller than both of them.

7-14 pounds is a pretty decent difference. Regardless of this, even taking his size out of the equation, his on the field play is what I focus on more.. and as I said, he gets trucked more often than not. Regardless of his size, he simply does not have the hitting power. General strength and fitness is great, but in the NFL, you need that to be honed to certain areas.
You can be a 250 pound linebacker but completely lack both hitting power and leverage (see Derek Smith late in his career). There are many examples of players that look physically fit and strong but on the field get tossed around.
