I took a quick look at all the NT's in the league.There are some who weigh in at 290 or less, but they are over 6-2 tall. The shorter ones meanwhile weigh at lesat in the 310 range. I really couldn't find any that were both short and light. Undersized NT's can be successful if they utilize leverage and quickness. I hope Dorsey can take advantage of those abilities and be a productive player.
Ian Williams, a guy we just gave an extension to as a NT, is 6'1/305. Very similar to Dorsey's size. That's probably the type of NT the Niners prefer.
