@Viper: after all that I’ve seen the best case for him is 6’2 1/2 imho. Maybe 6’2.25ish is a better look. I also have a friend who met him and placed him 6’2”ish as well. And me having met Davis I would say Davis looks like he could edge him

@Viper: Apple measured 6’0 5/8 so could be 6’0 1/4 or 6’0 1/8 at a low but prob not a flat 6’0”. My guess is that Merriman may be stronger 6’2 but nonetheless. Now I wish they still did the Senior Bowl in the afternoon. They don’t anymore measurements are very close now to the combine measurements

At 6-3 I look much more taller next to my 6-0 dad than Merriman does with 6-0 hoffman

@Viper: I agree with you on the interview. And about shawne himself. Merriman is likely not over 6’2” range. Maybe best case could be 6’2.25 based on how he looks with Davis. Davis in person looked a full 6’3” but that could be a hair over or under (more likely the latter) since 6’3.25 was a confirmed morning height (per what I posted below for the 06 Draft). But a hair under for him prob means 6’2 7/8 at his low. I though I had him by 1-1.5” but taking into account the fact I measure 6’4.25 most days now (may have been a mm or two taller when I met him years back) that puts him almost right at 6’3”

@Viper: it may be a case where he’s lost height but my buddy played ball with him years back when he met him (in the 2000s). And when we say a bit under 6’7” prob 6’6.5 may be more like it or 6’6 5/8. My buddy is 6’7 maybe 6’7 1/8. There is even a possibility Buck is 6’6.75 at a low if it’s just a cm difference

There is more evidence of Merriman looking 6-1 than Dwayne Johnson. And considering Merriman was measured 6-2 at his pro day, Rob needs to at least bring him down to 6-2 1/2

If that's true about Buck he must have shrunk a tad. Because he looks a good 6-8 in his high school senior class photo with a 6-2 player who I know, who also went to Maryland to play football. He always looked 6-7 minimum in college and the NBA.

@Viper: actually the pic with Buck Williams is not that good because Merriman is slouching badly. But nonetheless I still don’t think he’d be close to him in height. Buck is around 6’6/6’7” (like 6’6.5). My buddy is solid 6’7” (former college teammate) and he’s balled with him before and said he’s slightly shorter than he is
The pic with Kyrie it’s hard to tell how tall shawne is. He can actually look a bit taller just because of the way his head is angled

@Andrea: well as we know, we differ in opinion as I can’t see Boris above that mark. I personally believe he’s max 6’3” after the research and Merriman 6’2+

@Andrea: I respect your opinion but disagree about Davis and Merriman. Davis looks physically taller in the one where Davis is off to the right where he’s losing height. And even in the other one I don’t see Davis favored in that pic. It’s hard to say Davis isn’t losing height to be honest. That one they may Look the same height but I would have to say Davis edges Merriman. As far as the Rock and Merriman I don’t see that much difference between them. That’s not even an entire inch. And for a measure of the Rock’s height here he is with Ndamukong Suh who measured 6’3 7/8 morning height. In this pic the ground level and footwear are the same as the 2nd pic (same event) where Rock is favored in the pic. Rock can’t be 6’2.5 with him. That’s a solid 6’2” at best (to be honest could look even under 6’2” esp if that’s a morning height) but I’ll call it 1.5”. As far as the 6’3 1/8 measured guy like I was mentioning before he can look taller at times and that is one of the instances. However, the pic I posted with Vince Young is an example of when he clearly looks 6’2 range. He looks nowhere near Young in height. Same with the pic Checker posted with Calhoun where they’re standing right next to each other he’s best case 6’3 there but to be honest 6’2.5 is how he can really look. I can say that the 6’2 flat may be a bit low but there is evidence of that as well imho.

The point is not "How tall is Boris". You already know what I think about it... 6'3 is a big joke for him. Let alone under. The point is that that measured 6'3 1/8 guy looks at least an inch shorter than Boris, while Shawne looks "noticeably" closer to him and I would say no more than half an inch shorter (at least in that picture). So it is just another picture where he looks, although indirectly, taller than a guy measured in 6'3 range, other than Vernon Davis' and Shaun Philips' pictures. As an aside, speaking of Boris (which is something I certainly don't intend to do on this page), he actually looks taller than how Armie Hammer does next to Shawne (Armie looks no taller than Shawne, in fact): Click Here Click Here This is not a surprise though. I've never guessed Armie much over 6'4 and I think that somewhere around 6'4 flat is probably closer for him... This also goes to show that something like 6'2 range is quite hard to believe for Shawne because there's no way he could look that tall next to a 6'4 range guy. And Armie is also a guy who generally stands with very good posture in photos, so I highly doubt he could potentially be losing something like 2 inches (or more if he really is 6'4+) in posture...
As for Vernon, I simply can't see him being any taller than Shawne, based on those two pictures. In this picture Click Here they seem to have a similar posture and Shawne looks easily taller than him (also bear in mind that Vernon has bigger hair and possibly a slight camera advantage). How much? I wouldn't say as much as an inch there, but somewhere around half an inch is very possible, IMO. In this other picture Click Here the difference looks bigger, but I agree that Vernon is standing a bit worse than Shawne there. That being said, I highly doubt he would be the same height or even taller than Shawne if he stood at his tallest... Overall, I would say there would be at least half an inch between them. In Shawne's favor, of course.
With The Rock I don't think he looks more than an inch taller in that picture, so no more than 6'3.5, assuming that The Rock is as tall as 6'2.5...

@Andrea: yep that’s what I meant by debatable too. The pics you posted he can look 6’4” but then we have pics with Davis (which I disagree) Davis looks physically taller imho and is dropping height clearly in one of them (the one where he is off to the left Merriman still doesn’t look taller imho). That is hard to tell. Also the pic with Vince Young he’s clearly over an inch less than Young. same with the Vincent Jackson and other pics. I think for him at times he can look close to what Rob has him but at other times he can look 6’2” sometimes 6’3. My honest opinion tho is he’s somewhere in the 6’2” range. It’s hard to say that he’s dropping height with Calhoun because Calhoun appears to be as well in that picture. One thing with pictures is that we can have one where we see everything including footwear and can have two people close in height (within maybe 2”) and the shorter one can easily appear taller in them so as far as Merriman looking shorter you could be right but at the same time with him looking taller than the others it could easily go the other way.

@Andrea: imho I’d say Boris would edge Merriman by that amount tho. Even saying Boris is possibly 6’3 flat or 6’2.75 imho. I have Boris being half inch to two cm taller than Merriman at least in my opinion and shawne 6’2.25 maybe

@Andrea: that’s actually a good point. The intent at 6’3 was to split it since we’re undecided. I honestly
Feel (my opinion) after what I’ve seen that he isn’t 6’4 or even close. To me he’s not gonna measure 6’3.5-6’4. And you’re right 6’4.3 would be right out of bed if he’s a weak 6’4 afternoon since the variance is only 3/8 or 1/2” for the other players measured (at least in 2006) from an afternoon measurement. It said the players woke and got drug tested in 2006 at least before measuring and the net was about that. That points to possibly max an hour after waking or even less as most lose 1/4-3/8 after being awake an hour. But then having seen him with Shilique Calhoun who also measured 6’4 3/8 in the morning he’s clearly shorter more than just half inch. Meaning if Calhoun is 6’3 7/8 or 6’4 Merriman isn’t as high as 6’3.5. But I was simply saying I feel Rob would put him at 6’3” before he downgraded him to 6’2” which may be better than 6’2 essentially because there is evidence in both directions 6’2 and 6’4 and quite honestly even 6’3. to many here he doesn’t look as low as 6’2”. But to many here on this page he doesn’t look 6’4. And then some even said doesn’t look above 6’3 or that 6’3 is the absolute max. 6’3” wouldn’t be all that bad actually considering Rob had a bunch of athletes here who were morning measured such as James Harden and Steph Curry who are both likely half inch less same with Blake Griffin (his not sure on because he looks under 6’8” to me especially with Deandre Jordan and Jamal Crawford) but looks closer to 6’8” than 6’7” flat next to Paul Pierce esp. in addition some of the more recent NFL players he still has listed at morning measurements such as Colin Kapernick or Gronkowski. so me telling Checker 6’3” was a better fit is more of me saying that Rob would most likely not lower him all the way to 6’2” since the case is flimsy and only say flimsy because like you said there is evidence in both directions. But I think the case is also very flimsy for 6’4 as well having said that.
If the 6’2.4 is his real measurement in that range vs 6’2” flat then he’d at least be 6’3 in the AM as well which is consistent with how he has a lot of athletes listed when he doesn’t have the luxury of having met them or enough evidence to say otherwise

The key point is that that page, although it belongs to NFL's official website, has Shawne down at 6'2 AND Jon Condo down at 6'2 3/8, which just doesn't add up, considering that this how Shawne looks next to the same Jon: Click Here

I agree that next to Shilique he can look closer to 6'3, but I think he's simply dropping more height than him there and he could stand taller than he is there. In fact, he does look taller than 6'3 guys like Vernon Davis and Shaun Philips. Speaking of Vernon, we even have two different (good) pictures where Shawne does look taller. How much is arguable... It may well be less than an inch, but I highly doubt they are the same height (let alone Shawne being shorter than Vernon).
Oh, and for those who say that he is shorter than Marcellus Wiley, I'm not sure about that: Click Here In that other picture that has been posted Shawne simply doesn't seem to be standing at his tallest and the camera position also seems to be favoring Marcellus's side a bit...

One thing is sure. Giving him 6'3 would make no sense, unless you think that both of those two alleged measurements are erroneous of course, because 1) if you assume that the true measurement is the 6'4 3/8 one, there's no way he can be as low as 6'3 flat, especially considering that no athlete gets measured directly out of bed and 2) if you assume that the true measurement is the 6-2.4 one, there's no way he can be as high as 6'3 (if anything, he can be shorter than that figure but certainly not taller). So the question is: is he more 6'2-6'2.5 or 6'3.5-6'4? Considering that he looks taller than every athlete measured in that 6'2-6'2.5 range, he's got to be somewhere in that 6'3.5-6'4 zone, although he can certainly look shorter than that at times...

The page that has him 6’2 274 is no less official than the combine’s if it surfaced on the NFL website. Sure Either of them could be a mistake. Doesn’t necessarily have to be the 6’2.4 or the 6’2. It could be the 6’4.3, as well. Next to Vince Young (6’4 5/8 in the morning) he doesn’t look anything remotely close to a weak 6’4. And with Davis there are some pics where he looks shorter as well. Depends on which pics are used. Even in the ones you posted it’s impossible to say that Merriman is taller than Davis to be honest. But the young pic he clearly looks much shorter. Then with Shilique Calhoun he looks clearly shorter. I don’t agree with what Checker said that it’s 2.5” but it appears that it’s about 1.5”. Even if we said it’s a solid inch like you said, Calhoun was measured in the morning so that puts him max 6’4 (maybe 6’3 7/8) meaning Merriman would be max 6’3 (maybe 6’2 7/8). But if you say Merriman edges Davis then Calhoun has substantially more height on Merriman than Merriman has on Davis. It’s double

I doubt Rob would list Shawne at 6’2.5” unless if he meets him in person unfortunately. I asked him to put in the description the link where Shawne was measured 6’2.4” and he didn’t even do that.

Editor RobThere was no indication from where the measurement was supposed to have come from. The same site also had Drew Brees at 6ft 1.0 remember. We all know he measured lower than that.
Of course I did link to an actual screengrab from a paper, which did show he was called 6ft 2.

@Rob: yea I have to agree with Checker here. Not to mention he met him and it adds up to what he described as 6’2”. Maybe a flat 6’2” is low but There is absolutely no chance Merriman is over 6’3 and it’s even highly likely he’s not even that tall. Here’s Vince Young with Merriman. That’s definitely over an inch difference. Even if it’s only 1.5 (we can’t see the top of their heads under the hats), it still would mean Merriman would be under 6’3 later in the day. We can’t see their footwear but that’s how he appears in several other pics as well including Shilique Calhoun (morning measured at the same exact listing Merriman got 6’4 3/8 yet clearly taller with Calhoun leaning a tad), Marcellus Wiley (like 184guy pointed out along with Harry Sachs) and even with Vernon Davis he looks shorter in some pics and at best the same in others.
Click Here
And it states right in the 2nd article below that the 2006 NFL combine was early morning that year (6am), Not to mention the Senior Bowl measurements are in the last link below. There is 3/8-1/2” difference between every player measured in the Senior Bowl vs the combine comparing the two. Meaning Young at 76.6 is more like 6’4 1/4” at best or even 6’4 1/8 in the afternoon.

That other page that has been posted ( Click Here ), which describes Shawne as "6-2, 274", is a funny one because it also has Jon Condo down at "6-2 3/8, 244". Now, it is certainly hard to buy those figures, considering that this is how Shawne looks next to the same Jon: Click Here
Now, we have two possible measurements: 6-2.4 (which only appeared on couchscout, an unofficial site that has also been proven to be not exempt of errors) and 6'4 3/8 (which appeared on NFL's official site nfldraftscout, other than more than one paper). Although I agree that he doesn't quite look 6'4 3/8 (at his low), 6-2.4 certainly seems too low, considering that he looks comfortably taller than every athlete who was measured around that range. So that 6-2.4 figure must have been a typo or something and the true measurement must be the 6'4 3/8 one (although probably very early in the morning and maybe Busting a Gut). I can see how he can look more around 6'3 at times, but I think he's got to clear that mark when he stands tall (especially since there's no way he could be as low as that if he measured 6'4 3/8 at any point of the day, or even 6-2.4 for that matter). In fact, he looks taller than athletes measured in 6'3 range as well (how much is arguable):
- With measured 6'3 2/8 Vernon Davis ( Click Here ): Click Here Click Here
- With measured 6'3 1/8 Shaun Philips ( Click Here ): Click Here
A weak 6'4 is probably a better shout, but 6'2 is a joke!

@Junior: after seeing pics with Shilique Calhoun that checker posted an absolute best is 6’3”. Sure he can look 6’4” in some pics but being he measured 6’2 as well it casts doubt. Don’t know which is true but it’s hard to believe 6’4 3/8 when he’s clearly shorter than Shilique Calhoun standing next to him when Calhoun measures that in the AM most likely. The pics Andrea posted may have them similar but he even said on boris’s page that it was an inch difference. The pic Checker posted of them is a better pic than the one posted on this page. And It looks more than an inch more 1.5”. Even if it’s just an inch a morning measurement for Calhoun would make him 6’3 7/8 or 6’4 at best in the afternoon. Meaning Merriman (using that) is 6’2 7/8 or 6’3 at best. But then there are pics with Barkley where it looks a full 2”. And Manley where he’s an inch shorter. Ditto for Vernon Davis, Andrea posted pics where Davis and he look the same but none of the ones where he clearly looks shorter. Even in that pic I don’t believe He’s as tall as Davis. That’s camera angle. Davis looks “physically” taller than Merriman despite that

Seeing as how Barkley also looks 2” taller than him in their pic. Maybe he’s close to 6’3” but he’s got a 6’2 and a 6’4 measurement. The latter is hard to believe when 6’3” Vernon Davis and 6’3 dexter Manley and a (Morning 6’4 3/8) shilique Calhoun look taller than him same with Barkley.

@Checker: that’s assuming Omar really is 6’5.5. He can look 6’5 to be honest but that looks prob a 3” diff with Merriman too. But there is more evidence to suggest 6’2 (at times 6’3) than 6’4. He’s notifeably shorter than Barkley Calhoun Manley and even Davis imho. Same with Magic. I believe Rob has Magic overlisted. He never looked more than maybe 201 peak. I’ve seen him next to Kurt Rambis and Rambis while listed 6’8” his entire career on paper was still taller than Magic. Same with Worthy and Jamal Wilkes. Wilkes (assuming he was a full 6’6) didn’t look that much shorter than magic maybe an inch or so. I leave that door open that Wilkes was 6’5.5 as well or 6’5.75 as there wasn’t a great difference with he and Michael Cooper who was 6’5-6’5.25 peak

No. Merriman listing wasn't bad. Some photo angle were really bad and deceiving him shorter posted here. For some better camera angle like compare height to some 6'2 guys he look easily over 1.5" taller with 6'2 1/4 Rock, Tim Tebow and Terry Crews, so how could he be just 6'2-6'3? I would give 6'3 3/4 - 6'4 to him. Worst listing would be the actor Christopher Backus claim and listed 6'3 who easily look 6'4 and over with a little weak 6'0 Christopher Meloni, 6'0.25" Reed Diamond, surely not Merriman getting worst listing in this site. An inch or over under listed was rare and honestly i recently realise most of celebrities get over listed by an average 1/2" especially actors. NFL players listing was still fair enough.

@184guy: his height can look all over the place. I actually saw him once at a MD game years back and he was maybe 50 or 100 feet or so away from me (coming out of a different line at the concession stands). This was after he had been drafted. I assumed he was his listed height as I didn’t get a chance to really pay close attention as I wasn’t close enough to him. I assumed that he was near me in height from that distance but after seeing now with Shilique Calhoun and Dexter Manley and Vernon Davis who I’ve met (actually is 6’3) I can see for sure like you said that he isn’t 6’4. He looks 2” shorter than Charles Barkley as well. While I’ve pretty much assumed Barkley 6’4” range for the longest just based off teammates and other internet posters who’ve met him along with some friends that met him that puts Merriman absolutely no bigger than 6’3” like you said. That’s an absolute best case in my opinion

flat 6 2 is just not possible. he never looks that short with other measured nfl players. it's extremely likely it was an error. he easily looks over 6 2 with rampage and he is clearly standing a bit more lax so they can meet each other in the eye. also we can't see footwear or perspective. in any case if that's the only evidence you have that he is 6 2 it is weak.

No, the 6'4 is a joke. I could maybe see somebody thinking he could be 6'3. He was listed 6'3 at Maryland, so hes shorter than 6'3. Pretty obvious hes not an insane 6'4.
He should be listed no higher than 6'2.5 here. Hes really a flat 6'2.

Database error! 6-02.4 was supposed to have been 6'-04.2
He has Multiple measurements of 6'4" & one random listing of 6'2-1/2",,, you figure it out.

Yeah, that's exactly what I've been saying so far. That 6-2.4 figure must have been a typo or something... Although there are a few occasions where he can look as low as that (like this picture with listed 6'1 Ray Lewis Click Here ), he looks comfortably taller than that with way too many people to be as short as that. I still would say that he may well be more 6'3-6'4 than the full 6'4, but 6'2-6'3? I doubt it.

I think the 6'2.4" is just a database error somebody type it wrongly. It could mean 6'3.5". Merriman look right on 6'4 with Terry Crews but i guage Crews is only a solid 6'2 guy, some picture by Andrea which the photo angle was quite bad we could tell Merriman can look a little shorter than some 6'4 guy but then other shots he look right on rob listed him. Merriman with 6'2 1/4 Rock also look to bang on 6'4 and look eye to eye with 6'4 Jared Goff. I can believe on 6' 3 3/4 lowest now and understand why some say he look under 6'3-6'4.

Exactly, Rob. As I said, I tried to contact the owner of the site on his personal FB account (the emails on the site didn't seem to work) to have more info and to see if he remembers where he got those data from, but he still hasn't answered (and at this point, I think he never will)...
One thing, if you take a look at the older version of the site, it even looks like that anyone could submit those data in the past: Click Here

Editor RobThe bigger your dataset, the more prone it can be to some errors slipping in.
Look at this site, there will be small errors that creep in now and again.
I think Shawne at times can look in 6ft 3 range and can understand some estimates like that, but I don't believe he would measure as short as 6ft 2.5.

Might be 6'3 1/2 at low.

Nice! I myself am still not sure on him because he can really look over a wide range at times, but that alleged 6-2.4 measurement certainly does seem too low next to many other MEASURED athletes...
