Only 23 out of 1696 NFL players are 5´7 or under

Saw some ragebaity podcast clip where some foid said that if youre 5´7 or under you should give up on american football. In my head it made sense but the comments were all chimping out so i did the research myself (looked on reddit) and only 23 players signed to nfl teams are 5´7 or shorter.

For 5´8 or shorter its 86 players. If we were to now only include the players who start the number would be even lower ofcourse.
Here are all the 5´8 or shorter players:

This is why i laugh when people compare the difficulty in this sport to our football. They would rather sign a tall fat ass then someone who has skills.
