If only Rigg had the physique of Jobe, would be some prospect.
Honestly dont think it matters mate.

He has that agression you see smaller lads have sometimes. I have coached plenty of lads who are smaller but they bring more intensity or controlled agression to make up for it. He looks to ride the physical stuff really well. In the modern game, it strikes me that some of the best attacking midfielders are smaller. The list is long.

When I first started serious coaching clubs were looking at height and physicality. It was a big frustration to see gifted slight lads overlooked. The FA models in the last 20 years have rewritten that and we focus on talent first now. I very rarely see a profile card in an academy now stipulating height. Thankfully.
