Can it be done? Sure. But there are FAR more undersized DTs that fail as opposed to being anywhere as good as Aaron Donald. Wingo didn't last until the 6th round because every NFL team was unreasonably biased against him. Just like Donald wasn't a first round pick because the Rams saw something the rest of the league didn't. Donald was dominant in his career at Pitt. For context, Donald's senior season stats alone were heads and shoulders better than Wingo's CAREER stats.

I hope Wingo has a great career. But this is the same logic used year after year when a short QB with average arm strength is taken in the later rounds and everyone tries to compare him to Drew Brees.
