"He towered over listed 6'2" Steve Young (maybe Young is more 6'1"?)."
A couple of seasons ago, while talking about small QBs on an ESPN pregame show, Steve Young said that he was 6'0". tj says on 23/Sep/08
all NFL players have had there height documented at the NFL combines. Peyton measured just under 6'5 1/2
Kevin says on 15/Sep/08
I saw when Peyton Manning & Richard "Rip" Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons who is listed at 6'7" were at the ESPY awards, backstage, standing by each other talking & Rip said to Peyton "damn i knew you were tall, but i didn't think you were this tall" & Rip had 1-2 inches on Manning Anonymous says on 27/Aug/08
Peyton is 6-6 in shoes but never lists himself that height. 6'5 1/2" I agree 100%. Emmitt Smith 5'9 1/2' btw. Jeremy L. says on 27/Aug/08
Peyton is indeed 6'5" but actually with a half inch, they don't mention the half in the NFL, he is 6'6" in hi top shoes, I myself am a very tall man and i've got seven inches on him. I am 7'0.5" (215cm) but list myself a bare 7-0 on my license. We're both obviously modest about our height, as I in hi-top shoes am 7'1" but never list myself at that height. Clay says on 6/Aug/08
JD that is a horrible analogy. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are equals, while Kobe blows Pierce out of the water. Mr. R says on 31/Jul/08
I saw Peyton in New York. He is 6-5. Anonymous says on 30/Jul/08
Manning has been in commercials and on SNL...Tom Brady hasnt..that kinda makes him more of a celeberty than Tom Brady even if some people think Brady is better jd says on 18/Jul/08
its a joke that peytons height is on this site, and Tom Brady's isnt. That would be like having Paul Pierce's height listed, but not having Kobe's. Anonymous says on 16/Jul/08
QBs:Tom Brady's listed at 6'4" 225,Peyton Manning at 6'5" 230, Chad Pennington at 6'3" 225, Carson Palmer 6'5" 230, Derek Anderson 6'6" 230, Brady Quinn 6'4" 235, Ben Roethlisberger 6'5" 241, David Garrard 6'1" 245, Vince Young 6'5" 233, JaMarcus Russell 6'6" 269, Tony Romo 6'2" 224, Eli Manning 6'4" 225, Matt Ryan 6'4" 221, Drew Brees 6'0" 209, Jared Larenzen 6'4" 285 and a whole lot more Viper says on 11/Jul/08
I noticed that 6-6 measured Matt Jones was arrested and booked at 6-5. I wonder why. Viper says on 23/Jun/08
Peyton does not look 6-5 1/2 with 6-4 3/4 Kassim Osgood on video. Click Here Clay says on 23/May/08
Odd he always struck me as shorter. Stocky build I suppose. Seattle really needs some size at cornerback and wide receiver, lol. Viper says on 16/May/08
Lofa is closer to 6-0 according to his measurement on couchscout. Click Here Clay says on 14/May/08
One of the best middle Linebackers in the game - Lofa Tatupu - is no more than 5'11'' as well. Viper says on 14/May/08
I think Zach is 5-10 1/2 actually. D says on 14/May/08
The thing is that height never matters in the NFL when it comes to linebacker, Zach Thomas, which in my opinion, is one of the most well rounded linebackers out there, and he's only 5'11. Mike says on 10/May/08
how come Tom Brady's height isn't listed on the site??? Alex says on 1/May/08
Peyton claims 6'5 a lot too and he has an inch or so on Brady. Jake Is Back says on 25/Apr/08
Bledsoe could possibly be 6'6". He towered over listed 6'2" Steve Young (maybe Young is more 6'1"?). Click Here . Bledsoe was a good qb in the 90s but not so much in the 2000s. Brady has claimed 6'5" but that would put Bledsoe at a ridiculous ~ 6'7" and Manning at ~ 6'6.5". I think the 6'5.25" draft height is accurate for Manning, but its only a quarter inch short of his current listing. thekiddd says on 10/Mar/08
The funny thing is in US weekly a recent issue I am not sure which one, the article said he was 6'4"! Funny because most magazines add on height instead of take away height. Nashville says on 27/Feb/08
I saw him in the Tin Roof bar in Nashville, wearing flip flops. He's easily 6'5". Viper says on 27/Feb/08
Brady looks 6-4 to me. Anonymous says on 26/Feb/08
Peyton looks close to 2" taller than Tom Brady. Up here in New England some doubt Brady is actually 6'4" as he was a good 2" shorter than Drew Bledsoe. Peyton comes off as about 6'5" next to most. Alex says on 19/Feb/08
So likely that could be their real height for the day since its not directly out of bed and could have lost up to 1/2 inch already by the time they get measured but people are different though and dont always lose the same amount. Viper says on 16/Feb/08
I think around mid morning. Alex says on 14/Feb/08
I wonder how early are these measurments taken for the NFL combine. If its not too early the heights they are measured at could maintain for most of the day. Viper says on 14/Feb/08
Peyton admitted that he has a huge noggin on some video from the Pro Bowl on NFL.com. He wears a big helmet. Alex says on 13/Feb/08
Vegas, nice picture assuming they are in the same type of shoes. I see a solid inch between the two. But also these measurements are in the morning and I believe Peyton was measured at 6'5.5 as well. Either way 1-1.25 inches apart.
But christ Peyton does have a long ass head. LOL Vegas says on 9/Feb/08
peyton and his 6'4.6 measured bro Click Here Alex says on 6/Feb/08
I was rooting for the Giants, not that I am a big fan of them but I do root for them at times since I am from NY but my team is the Steelers. Also I hate the Pats anyway. Viper says on 6/Feb/08
Tom Brady sure looked like a mediocre QB in most of the super bowl when he had some pressure on him. Antron says on 6/Feb/08
I think Peyton is all of 6'5" and change, he is slightly taller than 6'4" or so Eli... mostly because Peyton has a really tall forehead. Real says on 22/Jan/08
Remember guys.. It's not gay to want to make sweet and passionate love to Tom Brady.
With that aside.. Manning looks about 2 inches taller than Brady in pictures. Brady is listed at 6'4 nick says on 15/Jan/08
vegas Thats not 4 inches at all if peyton stood straight it would be more like 6 inches minimum nick says on 14/Jan/08
Click Here
With jennie finch who is atleast 6'0 with what looks to be 3.5 4 inch heels which makes a 6'4 finch is beat by peyton by atleast 3 inches nick says on 14/Jan/08
Click Here christian slater on this sight is 5'8, and is 5'8 yet manning looks 6'7 here.
with listen 6.25 james denton, looks 6'6 6'6.5 here Vegas says on 13/Jan/08
you really cannot trust photos here george W bush only looks 3.5-4 inches max shorter than manning; 6'1.5" GWB anyone?? Click Here me says on 11/Jan/08
I think Manning's just 6'5" flat. I saw a video of him standing next to his 6'3" dad when he was in college, and he wasn't much taller. Lmeister says on 3/Jan/08
Even Martin St Louis himself has admitted in an interview that he isn't 5ft9. He said that he is 5ft8, but they list him taller. Another good example is that when Brian Rafalski came to Finland he was listed 5ft11 during the last seasons in Finland he was listed 5ft8.5. Now he is back in NHL and is usually listed 5ft10. JackieTreehorn says on 2/Jan/08
About the NHL players under 5-10: I bet they do inflate a lot.
Martin St Louis can't be his listed 5-9...probably 5-7 tops. We used to chant the "Smurf theme song" when Vermont came to our school to play (since he and their other best player were < 5-7.
Peyton Manning is tall by the way. Alex says on 30/Dec/07
What's Eli's combined height? 6'4 1/2 right? Viper says on 29/Dec/07
I thought Bledsoe was just 6-5. here says on 28/Dec/07
manning was a hair shorter than 6'5.5" bledsoe so 6'5.25" is spot on. Derek says on 27/Dec/07
I always thought Leftwich was a flat 6'5". He seemed a hair shorter than Manning. One guy that is upgraded is Michael Strahan. He's listed at 6'5", yet was only marginally taller than my dad, who is 6'3 1/2". Alex says on 26/Dec/07
Byron Leftwich is 6'5 1/2 but listed at 6'5. A rare downgrade. Socom says on 26/Dec/07
I cant believe he lasted till the sixth round. The Browns got a steal. Derek says on 26/Dec/07
Anderson is 6'6". JaMarcus Russell and Peyton Manning are both 6'5 1/2". Byron Leftwich I believe is a flat 6'5". Viper says on 25/Dec/07
Derek is 6-6. Socom says on 24/Dec/07
How tall is Derek Anderson? He might be the tallest QB in the NFL. Kevin Durant says on 20/Nov/07
Lebron James is a couple of inches taller than the 6'5.5" Peyton Manning. LV says on 14/Nov/07
I've seen that commercial, but that is probably a very low 6'0" doorway. I'm not sure why they wanted to make him look so big. lookuptothetallpeople says on 13/Nov/07
i saw this guy on a commercial looked at least 6'7 to me, as he was standing under a 6 foot 8 door frame and had to squeeze through it to get by lol Chris Webb says on 30/Oct/07
I just got accepted to Purdue yesterday ,weird ( if anyone cares ) LV says on 25/Oct/07
Viper, of all the guys in the NFL that I was acquainted with, I knew Matt Light the best. That guy is an absolute riot! If you've ever seen the commercials he's been in or his recent interviews on Sportscenter, you'd know what I'm talking about. He's very down to earth, he'd the kinda guy you'd play cards with (back when we played Euchre all the time) and then go out drinking all night. It doesn't appear he's changed much since then, just longer hair and lots of Superbowl rings! When I first met him, he was a tight end and weighed 50-60 lbs less. Now he's argueably the best left tackle in the NFL. Vegas says on 24/Oct/07
thats a bit like me LV; used to be in college with this guy (really quiet, nobody barely noticed him), next thing he appeared on a program (equivalent to american idol) and was the biggest pop star in the country for about a year, everywhere he went he was mobbed by girls (who didn't even say hi to him when he wasn't famous). I remember about six months after he hit the big time he came back to college to do a gig, he was like elvis (the amount of people there), lol Viper says on 24/Oct/07
Most linebackers are really 6-1-6-2, in the NFL at least. Whoa, you went to school with Matt Light? Didnt know he went to Purdue. LV says on 24/Oct/07
Viper, I was at that game and recall a very big win for Purdue. I went to nearly every single home game those guys played and several on the road from 1997-2002. I personally knew and lived with guys like Drew Brees, Shaun Phillips, Matt Light, Craig Terril, Roosevelt Colvin, Kelly Butler, Joe Odom, and several others, so it was always enjoyable to watch them play and do well. The funny part is that back then, those guys weren't that well-known so I have virtually no pictures or autographs. Plus, it would be kinda weird to ask someone for their autograph while you're sitting there eating lunch together or out at the bar. In hindsight, I wish I'd gotten pictures and autographs from all those guys. JohnP says on 23/Oct/07
Viper, yeah the NFL often wants their quarterbacks to be able to look the offensive and defensive line in the eyes. The standard "height rule" for a QB in the draft is 6-3 (and 220 pounds in weight).
Some people claim that "6-1 is short for a linebacker" and so on, but it's actually more common with linebackers that are between 5-11 to 6-1, than linebackers that are 6-3 to 6-4, even though the standard "height rule" in the draft is 6-3 for a middle linebacker and 6-2 for an outstanding linebacker.
You can read more about size in the the NFL here: Click Here Viper says on 23/Oct/07
Couchscout had Flutie at 5-9. Alex says on 22/Oct/07
Flutie was 5'7 I read actually.
I think 6'2 and up is best for a QB actually. dave says on 22/Oct/07
You have to be MASSIVE to be an offensive lineman. I've only seen one in the NFL legitimatly under 6'2...Hank Fraley, but he was a porkchop at 6'1'' 320. Guys like Leonard Davis and Bryant McKinnie are upwards of 6'7/6'8 350 of non-fat. Viper says on 22/Oct/07
LV, I saw your boy Shaun Phillips on ESPN Classic the other day playing against Michigan in 2000. Drew Brees as the QB.
Height for a QB matters a lot in football because its easier to see over your offensive line. Height for the linebacker position is a little overrated. Youve had guys as short as 5-9 in the NFL excel at linebacker like Sam Mills, but thats the exception to the rule. The NFL generally wants linebackers that are 6-0 or taller. Being tall is an advantage for the defensive backs. Height is an advantage for wide receivers. Being under 6-0 is an advantage for a running back. Vegas the only 5-9 QB I know that excelled in the NFL was Doug Flutie. You really have to be 6-0 or taller for that position in the NFL. Ball-A-Hallic says on 21/Oct/07
i kno i said they can probally range around 2-4 idk any off the tip of my head but i'm sure a few could have been i just emant it can be in that range sure its probally mostly just 2inches at ebst but im sure soem have snuck past with 3 or 4 Anonymous says on 21/Oct/07
In response to the comments about NHL player heights, standard rule of thumb with most hockey weights due to the insane amount of competition in the scouting process is that stats get inflated by an inch of height and 5-10 pounds of weight, every time. It's what mine was always bumped up by my coaches from AAA up through juniors. The weight is the more important issue though, frankly, because it's associated with strength. There are only a few players in the NHL that are really legitimately under 5'10 though. LV says on 21/Oct/07
Vegas, height is very important for NFL QB's because most of their offensive linemen are 6'3" to 6'8". If you're 5'9" and one of their offensive linemen get pushed back near them, it would be very difficult to get a pass over the top of them or to even see their receivers. It's not uncommon for short QB's to accidentally throw the ball off of the backs or helmets of his linemen. I agree that a successful short QB is more impressive than a taller one. Doug Flutie is a good example. I think he was 5'9"-5'10"ish. Bonafide says on 21/Oct/07
It also helps to be tall to see over the lineman because most of them are tall. Alex says on 21/Oct/07
You don't have to be that tall for a QB in the NFL but its just most are 6'4-6'5. Under 6'2 is considered shortish for an NFL QB I believe. Alex says on 21/Oct/07
LV, it depends some guy who are X height and 1/2 will sometimes round up then sometimes round down. Most will round up though. I can be 6'0 1/2 but only a few hours after being up and I'm more 6'0 most of the day so thats the height I say. Vegas says on 21/Oct/07
LV; Couchscout have Drew Brees at a measured 6'0.2", maybe he grew???
i hear alot talking about height in american football (someone too short for a certain position), why should it matter??? i am sure a guy at 5'9 could easily do as good a job at QB as a 6'4 guy, but then again i don't know anything about nfl so.... imo the only sport where height is important is basketball, in all other sports/positions you should be ok regardless of height i would have thought, if the likes of ben wallace can give up the best part of a foot on some nba centers (and still hold his own) then the argument that you are too short for a certain position in the NFL seems like a load of BS to me. LV says on 20/Oct/07
Jack is back....Drew Brees is not 6'0 1/2". I know him personally because he lived down the hall from me during our freshman year at Purdue. He was measured barefoot at the NFL combine just under 6'0" (somewhere between 5'11 1/2 or 5'11 3/4") and literally had to convince them he was 6'0". It was kinda a half joke but they did end up listing him at 6' even. It made the news (at least at Purdue) because many felt he was too short to be a successful QB in the NFL so listing him at a sub-six foot could've really hampered him. I realize any fool can measure him and see he isn't a legit 6'0" but its just a matter of perceptions. He may have never been given the opportunity had they given him a 5'11" listing. Regardless of his height (and slow start to this season), he's still one of the best QB's in the NFL and has been proving his doubters wrong since high school.
As far as Manning goes, during his Saturday Night Live show he said he was "around" 6'5". I took that to mean he was 6'4 3/4"+ and just goes by 6'5". He is a humble guy and always downplays everything so I wouldn't be suprised if he was 6'5.5" and just always says he's 6'5" when anyone else who is 6'5.5" would say they were 6'6". I have no doubts about his height since he is taller than everyone on his offensive line and is usually the tallest guy on the field. I live in Indianapolis so I hope to run across him one day, I'll make sure to get a picture with him when I do. Alex says on 19/Oct/07
Roller blades give more height then ice skates then. dave says on 19/Oct/07
I played ice hockey Alex skates give you anywhere from 3 to 3.5 inches, but also the helmet gives you a little boost too. Thats why hockey players in their gear look gi-normous when you see them up close.
I've seen players in the NHL listed at 5'8 and 5'9 - but the majority of guys that height get it rounded up to 5'10, im sure of that. Alex says on 19/Oct/07
In the NBA the most you'll get is a 2 inch inflation I think.
Dave, you've never seen a guy in the NHL listed under 5'10? So you think guys 5'8 or less get listed at 5'10? that would be funny. For those shorter guys maybe they count the skates.
But how much does ice skates give to you anyway? 4 inches I think?
I have a pair of roller blades and they give an easy 4 inches to my height. Vegas says on 19/Oct/07
Ball-A-Hallic; name a player in the nba, past or present rounded up by 4 inches
guys like dwayne wade and Kirk Henrich are basically their nba listed heights and there are many others. 1.5 inches is usually the cut off point for rounding up in the nba, very very rare to find a nba player rounded up by 2 full inches Ball-A-Hallic says on 18/Oct/07
mostly in the nfl their heights are probally just riounded up by an inch and nba can probally range from 2-4 dave says on 18/Oct/07
Hockey is pretty accurate, but if theres a 5'7/5'8'' guy they always get the 5'10'' listing usually. Its like if you're under 5'10'', then you dont deserve to be in the league. Alex says on 18/Oct/07
I think most NFL heights are right. Just some are rounded up 1/2 or so. With a few 1-2 inches more than they are which is pretty rare.
NBA we know are almost all inflated 1-2 inches.
Baseball, can be up to 3-4 inches like Viper said.
NHL I'm not sure on. Tough to say with them since they're in skates. Viper says on 17/Oct/07
Couchscout has Joe Horn at 5-11. Chris, Ive seen Shawne Merriman in person and hes 6-2, not the 6-4 billed height the NFL gives him also. Most NFL heights are accurate, but there are a few one offs fudged by 1-2 inches. Alex says on 17/Oct/07
I lose a bit more actually. 6'0 3/4, or 6'1 on a good day right out of bed then down to 6'0-6'0 1/4 from midday and on. Chris says on 17/Oct/07
Jamarcus Russel was measured at 6-5 1/2" by the NFL. At that height, Jamarcus chooses whether he wants to be listed at 6'5", or 6'6". I've heard Peyton Manning was measured the same, and chose to be listed at 6'5", becuase he thought 6'6" sounded too slow.
I've met Jamarcus Russel a few times, and he is 6'5"-6'6", but not near 6'7", as some were saying.
Also .. the NFL measures without shoes, and only rounds up, or down by the 1/2 inch, at most. The NFL isn't like the NBA with rounding heights up. If a guy is listed at 6'3" or more in the NFL, you can probably rest assured that it is legit. Some of the guys that are listed at 6' or 6'1", there may be a little fudging, especially at QB, but even then, it is usually pretty accurate. I've met Joe Horn, who is listed at 6'1". I'm 6'5", and towered over Horn. I'd say he isn't anymore than 5'11". But most players in NFL heights are accurate. Viper says on 17/Oct/07
6-3 1/2-6-3 3/4 and then usually down to 6-3 1/4. Alex says on 16/Oct/07
Viper, whats your out of bed height, midday height and evening heights? I'm not sure if I ever asked. Viper says on 10/Oct/07
They put a block your head fom what Ive seen. Alex says on 10/Oct/07
I wonder how they measure you. If its one of those laser height machines which can be off a lot of the time. Or is it done by measuring tape or something else. Viper says on 10/Oct/07
The NFL doesnt measure you in shoes btw. Viper says on 10/Oct/07
Well, couchscout had him at 6-0 1/4. And Warrick Dunn is closer to 5-7. Schnouzer Breath says on 10/Oct/07
think Mike Vick's height (ookie, lol) is with shoes; he always looked like the smallest guy on the field besides Warwick Dunn. the consensus here in the ATL was always, he was really just under six foot. Hey Hey Hey looks 6-5ish tops (not quite 6-6 methinks) Jack is back says on 9/Oct/07
Drew Brees is actually 6'0 1/2. Rex Grossman is a just a legit 6'1. Alex says on 9/Oct/07
I'm suprised he was rounded down to 6'5 then up to 6'6. Viper says on 9/Oct/07
6-5 1/2. Alex says on 8/Oct/07
Viper, what was Byron Leftwich measured at? I wasn't sure whether it was 6'5 1/2 or 6'6. RW says on 8/Oct/07
and how tall is rex grossman or drew brees? they are listed at 6' but not sure if they are legit 6 footers Viper says on 8/Oct/07
"question for VIPER: where did you read that mike vick is measured at 6.025? hes listed as 6 foot even so you figure his real height would be 5 10.5 5 11ish..."
Couchscout.com had Mike Vick at a measured 6-0.2 Viper says on 8/Oct/07
Drew Bledsoe is 6-5 max. Jamarcus Russel i 6-5 1/2 max. Vince says on 8/Oct/07
Remember Dan McGwire, Mark's brother? He played for the Seahawks. He was 6'8". Tallest NFL QB ever. cantstop25 says on 8/Oct/07
stragne he gets listed at 6'5" drew bledsoe listed 6'5" however id bet hes taller then peyton Anonymous says on 7/Oct/07
He is the exact same height as Vince Carter then. Alex says on 7/Oct/07
Leftwich is listed at 6'6. I believe he was measured at 6'5 1/2 or something. Ball-A-Hallic says on 7/Oct/07
Alex they say JaMarcus Russell is the tallest QB he was listed at 6'6 and i think measured at like 6'61/4 or 6'6.5 and i think leftwich is just 6'5 Alex says on 7/Oct/07
Mike Vick is exactly my height then. He can look taller than that sometimes.
Drew Brees is listed at 6'0. His exactly height is probably anywhere from 5'11 3/4 to 6'0 1/2. PMfan says on 7/Oct/07
that is weird. The nfl has him listed as 6 foot 5 so i thought his real barefoot height would be like 6 3.5 or 6 4 maybe because i know sports round up alot. there is no way they would round down. i believe he is 6 4ish. oh and a question for VIPER: where did you read that mike vick is measured at 6.025? hes listed as 6 foot even so you figure his real height would be 5 10.5 5 11ish... Viper says on 7/Oct/07
Actually Mike Vick is a measured 6-0 1/4. Alex says on 6/Oct/07
The tallest QB is Byron Leftwich at 6'6. Schnouzer Breath says on 5/Oct/07
dave, you are right on the money about Garcia, about 5-11 to 6 ft., just like Mike L. Vick, Tiger Woods, Elvis, etc. etc. Matt Thomas says on 4/Oct/07
Actually Alex the average height for an NFl Qb is 6 foot 3 inches. dave says on 4/Oct/07
Josh, I met Jeff Garcia in Calgary...where he played minor pro before going to San Fran. I was 5'9'' at the time, he was about 2 or 3 inches taller. Alex says on 4/Oct/07
Most NFL QBs are 6'4-6'5. antron says on 3/Oct/07
I think he mentions something like "If you like 6'5" quarterbacks with a lightning arm..." in a commercial Alex says on 2/Oct/07
JK, you have tall uncles I assume then?
Either way at not even 17 yet I think you'll be 6'5 or a bit taller. Jack is back says on 2/Oct/07
Eli is i think is 6'4.5 but he's listed as 6'4 in the NFL, remember him being listed as 6'5 in Ole Miss. He looks a inch shorter than Peyton in the commercials they make together. 6'3.5'' JK says on 1/Oct/07
I measured in the afternoon, my dad is 5'10'' Alex, is Elisha Manning also 6'5''? Alex says on 1/Oct/07
JK, you measured what time of the day?
But thats pretty tall. You should end up hitting 6'5 by 18-19 I think.
How tall is your dad? 6'3.5'' JK says on 1/Oct/07
Im still 16 Alex, yeah i measured and was 192cms Alex says on 1/Oct/07
JK, so you're now 6'3.5? How old are you again? 6'3.5'' JK says on 1/Oct/07
Looks 6'5.5'' Viper says on 1/Oct/07
Garcia might be 6-0 on a good day, maybe. Josh says on 1/Oct/07
Does any one know how tall Jeff Garcia is? 5'11 or 6'0 I canīt believe hes listed at 6'1 haha. qwerty says on 30/Sep/07
He's one of those guys who wouldn look average - maybe even short - standing alone in the distance. And yeah, his head probaby has its own orbit. I'm surprised he's so agile. Jack is back says on 29/Sep/07
Peyton Manning's head alone is 6'5 Josh says on 28/Sep/07
He looks a bit over 6'5 like 196cm and yeah hes pretty tall. RW says on 27/Sep/07
who really gives a damn once you are past 6'4! this guy is obviously just huge. i believe his 6'5.5 claim. he is one of the biggest QBs in the NFL Alex says on 26/Sep/07
He is listed at 6'5 on NFL.com. They rounded down instead of up. Well if he's 6'5 1/4 then they would but if you're such and such height and 1/2 then you have a choice to be rounded up or down. Eric Bonacchi says on 25/Sep/07
he also said that he says 6 ft. 5.5 in because "it sounds more athletic than saying a full 6'6 because that just makes you sound slow". He continues to say "thats something that Drew Bledsoe taught me. Not sure exactly where i read that but i will look for it. Viper says on 25/Sep/07
Thing is there was a link off CNN.com that had him at 6-5 1/4. Alex says on 24/Sep/07
I believe it and sure looks it. |
