CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton sometimes playfully challenges teammates far shorter than his 6-foot-5 frame by stretching his right hand as high as possible to see if they can reach it for a high five.
So far, Taylor Heinicke hasn't been asked to participate.
"Thank God!" Heinicke said with a laugh.
Heinicke is 6-foot-1 -- actually closer to 6 feet, u215c inch -- and is short by NFL standards for a quarterback. His lack of height was a big reason he wasn't drafted out of Old Dominion, where he broke most of the school's passing records.
