Rob, he looks SHORTER than 6-2.5 barefoot with Bennett.

6-2.5 is a compromise
viper said on 18/Mar/19
6-3.5-6-3.75 is pure fantasy, especially when he was listed at 6-3.

Miko hasn't seen the Merriman-Bennett video where he looks 6-2 barefoot
Editor Rob
His posture with Bennett wasn't great, but then 6ft 3.5 is a figure that I can buy for him, for now.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/Mar/19
@Rob
Then why not? If 6'2.5" or even 6'3" is too offensive of a listing, then 6'3.5" is a good start. A downgrade for him is long overdue.
miko said on 17/Mar/19
6'3.5/6'3.75.
Canson said on 17/Mar/19
@Rob: if you’re gonna use the video at the doctor’s office, it’s also fair to include the video Viper posted with Martellus Bennett. While the former supports his 6’4” listing the latter aligns with what he was measured at his Pro Day 6’2”. It’s fair if you’re listing the Doctor video
Editor Rob
The description is reserved mainly for describing or mentioning quotes, which is why it is worth mentioning he is trying to insist he is 6ft 4 at that measurement. I already uploaded the 6ft 2 screencap from the news archives.
Canson said on 17/Mar/19
6’4 Is pure fantasy. He’s at most 6’2 range. Honestly he looked what Viper said in the video with Martellus Bennett
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 17/Mar/19
@Rob
How about a 6'3 3/8" listing for now, if you don't wanna list him at 6'3"? He has both 6'4 3/8" and 6'2 3/8" listings so it'll be a fair split. I virtually haven't seen any posters here who actually believe he's a legit 6'4".
Editor Rob
a compromise listing of 6ft 3.5 is possible, but 2.5 I have yet to be convinced he's as short as that.
viper said on 15/Mar/19
cmillz he looked 6-1.5-6-2 up close with perfect posture.

High time Rob puts him at 6-2.5
cmillzz said on 14/Mar/19
6’4 is way too high... there’s no way he’d be eye to eye with someone like Tom Brady.
Canson said on 13/Mar/19
@Rob: I’m willing to bet that the NFL isn’t going to respond. They won’t want to expose what is potentially done on occasion or that maybe the made a mistake. I bet if you get a response at all that it will be that he measured at 6’4 3/8” which he looks nothing like even if that’s out of bed because like Andrea even believed, that would make him a weak 6’4” guy 6’3.5-.75 which he certainly doesn’t look with Martellus Bennett who Viper also showed measured 6’5.75 a different time later in the day. Even if it’s not 4” between them, it’s definitely not less than 3”. I think 6’3” flat is even better than 6’3”. At least that was referenced in the comments on his picture although that looks like a shoe height more than anything.
Editor Rob
Well unfortunately they didn't respond (but then that is par for the course as soon as something like CelebHeights is mentioned 😆), and it's not like the request is unreasonable...
viper said on 11/Mar/19
Rob I would just go ahead and put him at 6-2.5 now.

NFL isn't going to tell you anything.
Canson said on 11/Mar/19
@Viper: Booger admitted to 6’0” actually when the Saints played the Redskins on MNF when Drew Brees broke the record. He said he’s 6’0” and that Brees looked no more than 5’10”. Booger looks a solid 6’0” with Jason Witten who looks the solid 6’5” he looked in the height listing you provided with Martellus Bennett. That’s 5” between them
viper said on 11/Mar/19
Canson and Christian, go look up Chargers versus Cowboys 2009 on YouTube.

Number 96 6-3 Travis Johnson looks like he has about 2 inches on Merriman.

95 6-3 Shaun Phillips clearly looks taller.

99 6-2 Kevin Burnett looks a tad taller.

Still can't believe Rob hasnt lowered Merriman to 6-2.5 after the best evidence ever.
Editor Rob
I tried to get someone at the NFL to even respond about Merriman, but nothing...nobody wants to check it out.
viper said on 10/Mar/19
Booger McFarland admits to being 5-11.

That was a total mismeasurement.
Canson said on 8/Mar/19
Ive seen them interviewing him on ESPN before the game against houston. He doesn’t look any taller than 6’6” on the court really
Canson said on 8/Mar/19
@Christian and Viper: if we factor a morning measurement in, it comes close to 2”. Some are even as high as 3”. Tobias Harris shows a 6’6.5 and he’s listed 6’9” now. He’s probably just a flat 6’6” at a low
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 7/Mar/19
@viper
I'd say some, but it's in the minority. Many players don't have more than a 1.5" discrepancy between barefoot and shoe measurements.
viper said on 6/Mar/19
Many guys measure 2 inches taller than their height at the NBA combine in their shoes
Canson said on 6/Mar/19
@Viper: maybe 5’9 3/8.

I think LT could be like Lamont Jordan.

Both shrinking down to 5-9.5

Interesting that Florida had 2 linebackers listed at their correct height of 6-1.

Both measuring 6-1.4

CeCe Jefferson is 6-1 266-270.

He looks the same size as Merriman back in the day.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 4/Mar/19
@viper
LT looks about 5'9" in that pic.

6-2 LJ Collier looks exactly the same with LT as Merriman does.

5-11 measured Ed Shockley is listed at 6-3 in the AAF

6-4 measured Dasean Downey is a linebacker wearing number 56 like Merriman.

It's incredible how much physically taller he looks than Merriman wearing 56.
Canson said on 3/Mar/19
He did measure 5’9 7/8 at Oklahoma. He doesn’t look over 5’9” though
Canson said on 3/Mar/19
@Viper: they did. It’s likely that was a morning measurement at the time. I’m surprised he measured as high as he did
viper said on 1/Mar/19
6-2 LJ Collier with LT. Click Here
viper said on 1/Mar/19
I remember reading Oklahoma measured him at 5-9.7
Canson said on 1/Mar/19
@Viper: see how early the NFL measurements take place. If the measurements are published before 9 am it shows how early they actually got measured. That number seems high even for a morning height. I’m equally surprised and skeptical being those close to him and who have seen him say that he’s shorter than that
Canson said on 1/Mar/19
@Viper: maybe he was listed as 6’7” in basketball then. But different sports will list people differently. Heck, Kyler Murray was listed 5’11” in Baseball and 5’10” in Football at the University of Oklahoma. I wonder when he was measured on Ourlads? From what we’ve seen Combine listings have had a wide variance from a Senior or Pro Bowl measurement. Meaning even with 6’6.25 and 6’5.25 measurements I don’t completely rule out the fact that at a low he still may be the latter.

Irv Smith Jr. is a tall looking 6-2 guy.

Taller looking than Merriman physically to me. Like Geno Smith

I can remember in high school picking up the paper and seeing Peppers listed as a 6-7 running back.


So crazy.

Kyler Murray just measured 5-10.1 which is surprising.

Nah, Peppers was only listed as high as 6-7. Even in high school.

Ourlads had Peppers at 6-5.3
Canson said on 27/Feb/19
@Viper: I remember Peppers being listed 6’8 or 6’9” in basketball I think. Yet there’s a chance he’s actually sub 6’6” at a low since he was 6’6.25 at the combine
viper said on 26/Feb/19
Julius Peppers was listed at 270 his last year of basketball.

He weighed in at 283 pounds at the combine
Canson said on 26/Feb/19
@Viper: but he was only listed 6’8” in the Pros and played power forward. They’d have at least made him 6’9” im sure. But He never looked any taller than Scottie Pippen on the court to be honest. Maybe best case Magic Johnson who I have at 6’7.25 peak

Yeah he might have been 6-7.5 at the very most.

Like I said he looks 6-8 in his high school basketball team picture his senior year. Especially with 2 other guys I know.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 25/Feb/19
@viper
Briscoe's 2013-2015 measurements have got to be errors. There's no way a 6'1" guy would be 6'3"-6'3.5" in shoes, let alone basketball shoes. If the pattern's reversed (his measurements getting taller as the years go on) then maybe that indicates growth, but that's not the case. His earlier measurements are taller than his newer ones.
Canson said on 24/Feb/19
@Viper: I spoke with my friend who has played ball with him and he said that they’re similar today. My friend is a solid 6’7” at a low. He said it’s possible that it’s half inch difference max but they may be about the same height still. I don’t know if Buck was ever much over 6’7” but I don’t deny that at his peak he was a legit 6’7” guy if not a hair over. I doubt he was 6’8 however

Yeah Merriman is easily getting 1.5 inches in the boot footwear he wears.

The 6-2-6-2.5 for Briscoe made no sense.

I was like how is he that tall when he's clearly shorter than his 6-2 measured Kentucky teammates DeAaron Fox and Malik Monk.
viper said on 24/Feb/19
Look at all the mismeasurements for Isaih Briscoe. Click Here

He's a 6-1 guy that measured 6-3.5 in shoes.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 23/Feb/19
@Canson
I wouldn't completely rule out that he wore boots either. Sometimes he wears boots in pics as well, although not the super thick ones like logger boots.
viper said on 23/Feb/19
Canson I was watching an old Maryland basketball game and Buck Williams looked slightly taller standing next to 6-8 listed Terry Gates at the free throw line.
Canson said on 22/Feb/19
@Christian: that 1cm could’ve made the difference. If he wore boots especially he may have been say 6’4.25 with the extra cm and really could’ve been upper 6’2 range barefoot in the morning
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 21/Feb/19
@viper
I doubt Merriman's anything over 250 lbs today. He has slimmed down some since he retired. As for his doctor's measurement, occasionally doctors and nurses do mismeasure people when they don't bring the stadiometer's board all the way down to the head. One time I was overmeasured by about 2cm, but I had thick hair back then. Merriman didn't have thick hair to the point of being overmeasured by 2cm. If he was overmeasured, I doubt it was more than a cm.
Canson said on 20/Feb/19
@Viper: no less than 3” for sure and that looks low. Looks over 3” really
viper said on 20/Feb/19
Akeem Ayers is 6-2 254. Click Here

As you can see he looks way smaller than Merriman.
Mickie said on 20/Feb/19
Hard for me to see why this guy is listed above 6'3". He was listed as that in college, and very rarely can manage to look more than that (quite honestly, he looks 6'2").
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 19/Feb/19
@Rob
But that doesn't mean anything. Some people can weigh heavier than what they seem. 272 at 6'2"-6'3" isn't unbelievable at that size, especially when you notice how he was a lot bigger in 2005 than he is in recent years. If you're not even gonna list him at 6'3", then you should at least list him 6'3 3/8" here, since both the 6'2 3/8" and 6'4 3/8" listings have been highly debated on this site. That would only be fair.
viper said on 19/Feb/19
Or he was just flat out measured wrong.

It's happened to me at the doctor at least 3 times. Both more and less
viper said on 19/Feb/19
Staring at Rising's screencaps, that's an easy 4 inches.

Merriman looks what I saw him as.
viper said on 19/Feb/19
Nobody thinks Russell Westbrook is 6-2 If you look around.

They think he's 6-4-6-5.
Canson said on 19/Feb/19
@Viper: I would hope that nobody would do that. However, if someone has very poor posture and a significant footwear advantage on someone it’s entirely possible. However, you say that he had decent posture. But it’s possible he’s 6’2-6’2.5 range and you mistook him for being shorter
viper said on 19/Feb/19
Merriman looks between 250 and 260 today.

He has claimed 260 on twitter

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/Feb/19
@Canson
I give him 6'2.25" worst case. A 6'2.25" guy can easily be mistaken for 6'2" flat. My theory is that he was measured 6'4.25" in the morning with shoes on, and was rounded up to 6'4.5" by the nurse. Some shoes can easily give 1.25" of course, so he would be 6'3" barefoot at morning, and you subtract 3/4" so you get 6'2.25" at night.
viper said on 18/Feb/19
At 6-3 I can measure 6-5.5 in my brother's bigger shoe size raising my toes inside.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Viper: I agree with Rob that at times he can give off a shorter impression but I also agree that he’s 6’2 range versus 6’4 or even 6’3.5. This is easily one of the worst listings on the site. Even 6’3 is better
Editor Rob
The thing is, I don't know if anybody would offer help in trying to see what his actual records say. Would the NFL admit to a mistake...
viper said on 18/Feb/19
Im not gonna mistake a 6-4 guy with perfect posture for 6-1.5-6-2 up close.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Viper: that’s interesting. Lamont Jordan shows a 5’10 1/4” combine listing. That goes to show that they aren’t always accurate.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Rob: it’s entirely possible that the 6’2 3/8 he measured at the Pro Day is the same measurement he received at the Combine. Viper also posted where Julian Peterson shows 6’5.1 at the combine but is really only around 6’3” as that’s what he’s listed at in the NFL. It’s more than likely that his measurement was 6’3 1/8 as opposed to 6’5 1/8”. Meaning he may just be 6’2.75 at a low whereas Merriman May only be 6’2” range as well. That video with Martellus Bennett who is 6’5.75 at a low is by far the best judgment as both are barefoot. That’s over 3” between them so the most I could buy is 6’2.5. Even a full 6’3” is a much better listing than this one since you said yourself that you thought it was 3” between them and Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 in the morning
Editor Rob
It's a big error if it's true. Either he was 6ft 2 3/8th or 6ft 4 3/8ths. His 274 weight doesn't make as much sense if he was only 6ft 2, but more if he was over 6ft 3.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Christian: actually 6’2” flat is possible. if Martellus Bennett is 6’5.75 at a low which Viper provided proof of in a different post here, there is a chance of 6’2” flat for Merriman. I used to believe 6’2.5 would be the better listing. However with the video I doubt it’s more than 4” but could see 3-4” meaning 6’2.5 could be equally as feasible. One thing I’m confused on is the other video where the nurse measured him. It was likely in shoes and in the AM perhaps but that may signal more of 6’2.5ish if that’s the case
SnerhagAip777 said on 18/Feb/19

A big question is if the NFL put out there at the draft he was 6ft 4 3/8th and he wasnt, then mistakes happen or the NFL can make up figures.
viper said on 16/Feb/19
"There's certainly a fair amount of photos/clips which can be used to say he is under 6ft 3,"


And 2 sources saying he measured 6-2 at his pro day, with a specific 6-2.4
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 16/Feb/19
@Rampage
Yet I don't see you calling his unbelievable 6'4 3/8" "measurement" as "nonsense". While I don't believe he's as low as 6'2" flat, there's sure as heck of a better chance of him being that than being 6'4 3/8".

Rampage you do upgrade so many here by 1-2 inches.

Have you watched the video? You can't argue Merriman is taller than 6-2
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Rob, Merriman has perfect posture with barefoot Martellus Bennett on video and looks 6-2. He looks 4 inches shorter.

That's the best evidence there will be. Best evidence maybe ever on this board.

Both guys barefoot on video.
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Sorry Rampage but you have blinders on.

I saw Merriman up close with perfect posture looking 6-1.5-6-2. Others have said he looks 6-2 in person

He was measured at 6-2 at his pro day.

He looks 6-2 at most BAREFOOT with a
6-5.7-6-6.1 BAREFOOT Martellus Bennett.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Feb/19
Ron, do you seriously believe this 6ft2 nonsense?
Editor Rob
People are entitled to believe whatever figure they like. There's certainly a fair amount of photos/clips which can be used to say he is under 6ft 3, but I personally haven't seen enough to think of giving him such a figure and would still say he might be a guy who walks and stands shorter than he measures.
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Rob could you post the Martellus video up top in the description. Thanks
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Agree Canson. The Martellus video is the best evidence by far since both are barefoot.
Canson said on 15/Feb/19
@Christian: 6’3” is a good start for him. I still believe he’s 6’2” range but we can tell for the most part that he’s not over 6’3”. I don’t understand how and why the Martellus Bennett video isn’t factored into the listing or even description since it’s clear that that is not just a 1.75” difference even assuming we are only using their combine listings when we saw that Bennett was 6’5.75 a different time later in the day. While a 3.5 or 4” difference looks most feasible I would say it is no possible way it’s less than 3”.
Canson said on 15/Feb/19
@Rob and Viper: being Viper also provided that Bennett is 6’5,75 at a low it’s safe to say that Merriman likely isn’t more than 6’2.75 since you alluded to 3” difference between the two. While I believe 6’2” I think then 6’3 is a good start for him. Even in the video where he was measured at the doctor we saw on the replies to him claiming 6’5” someone else said 6’3” although that looks like a shoe measurement. He’s definitely not anywhere near 6’4”.
viper said on 13/Feb/19

It's not a really easy way to compare. You'd have to line up Austin's head in proportion with both Merriman's and Kelly's pic, and see the difference between Merriman and Kelly. But the problem is that the camera positioning isn't that great with the Kelly pic.

Merriman looks about 4 cm taller than Trump in that pic. I don't think he gets much advantage despite being slightly closer to the camera and he might be slouching more, though not nearly enough to get him close to 6'4" since Trump himself rarely stands his full height.

Cox is probably 6-5. I've never seen or heard of a 6-7 listed college basketball player being only 6-4.

But I did see a listed 6-7 college basketball center from a D3 team at McDonald's look just 6-4.5. He looked a weak 6-5.
viper said on 12/Jan/19
Mo Alie-Cox was supposedly measured at 6-6, yet he's listed at 6-5. One site even lists him at 6-4
Canson said on 12/Jan/19
@Mickie: it’s similar to the video with Martellus Bennett. Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 at the combine and in the link Viper provided he was 6’5.75 (they rounded him up to 6’5.8) when he was measured a different time. Even if Rising Christian Viper and I all overestimated the difference between them by a tad it’s still over a 3” difference. Even a solid 3” between them makes Merriman more like 6’2.75. I think a downgrade to 6’2.5 is the best fit but my personal opinion is he’s 6’2” based on that. Rudy Gay called him 6’2” when he met him as well

@Viper: Sharpe I can believe as a strong 6’1” guy mainly because others are overlisted. I saw where you commented on Steve Smith. He’s 5’8” range from what I’ve seen. I agree on Strahan too 6’4 not 6’5”. Likely flat 6’4. Kobe looked 1” taller but may be the angle and may just be 2cm. You were saying he looked 6’2” in person but turned out strong 6’1. Maybe he had footwear advantage on you when you saw him. It’s like with when I saw John larroquette. I thought he was taller than my Dad but likely he had a footwear advantage when he walked past us or that he was standing straighter. It was also some 25-27 years ago when I saw him and I wasn’t as height aware as I am today which started because I see people all the time claim taller than they are and used to wonder why but now I know. As for Larroquette seeing pics on Night Court with Richard Moll I can agree with most that he looked 6’4” as opposed to almost 6’5”. At most he could’ve been my height prime 6’4.25ish

Look how "short" Malik Jefferson is at supposedly 6-2.

There's no way he's 6-2. I'd say 6-0 max, but physically looks shorter than even that at times.
viper said on 5/Jan/19
As with Shannon Sharrpe, as I said on the Mark Henry page, just because Rob thought he looked 6-2 IMO doesn't make it so. Nobody is perfect.

IMO Mark Henry is 6-1. He's been listed at 6-1.
Editor Rob
sometimes guessing from our own perspective can increase a range of error, but when you have other people whose height you know standing or interacting with a celebrity, it can be helpful.
Canson said on 4/Jan/19
@Viper: you though Sharpe was 6’2 in person right? I doubt he’s less than Rob lists him here though I’ll say that much
Canson said on 3/Jan/19
@Christian: they don’t look really big there but I will say as well that Merriman to my eyes does not look anything more proportionately than a 6’2” guy in that pic. Of course you can’t go off that strictly but he doesn’t look like a 6’4” guy either or 6’3

@viper

This might be a randon question, but how tall is your brother?
Canson said on 18/Dec/18
@184guy: from the video that Viper posted of Bennett and Merriman, Viper’s estimate is very believable. Viper has him 6’1.5-6’2”. Now I would say he’s a flat 6’2” more than likely as he measured 6’2 3/8 at his Pro Day. I saw where Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 at the combine but 6’5.75 another time later in the day. If that isn’t 4”, I would say it’s at least 3.5. I know Christian and Rising both also said it was at least 3.5” if not 4”. I would’ve said 4” but I’ll leave open 3.5 maybe a tad under. Maybe 6’2.25 for Merriman if the case which almost lines up with his Pro Day. I originally had him at 6’2.5 when his page came up on the site about 10 months back

184guy2 said on 16/Dec/18
@viper

I have him somewhere around 6'3. If you are 6'2.75 makes sense to think you could be taller because both of you are pretty near . Sometimes for example I think that I'm taller or as tall as a 6'1.75 friend when I'm clearly not while others I felt to be as short as a 5'11-6' guy that I know . Height perception is very trick . I'm pretty sure that almsot everytime that Rob guesses someones height , he try to use a third person to help the guess
Canson said on 16/Dec/18
@Viper: unfortunately some people here (won’t mention names) believe the combines and pre drafts. Even going as far as to inflate others just because so and so is “on record” at this height

It's hard for me to buy this guy at anything even close to 6'4" when I see him looking just slightly taller than Adrian Peterson who is a measured of 6'1.5" (that could be early in the day). Also next to Shilique Calhoun - these guys are NOT the same height. He really seems more like a guy who would be under 6'3".
Canson said on 15/Dec/18
@Christian: I don’t think Rampage has seen the video with Martellus Bennett. And Bennett is gonna be less than his combine measurement if we go by an afternoon height. Most likely not higher than 6’5.75 as that was what he was listed on Couch Scout. Could even be as low as 6’5 5/8. I’ll give him 6’5 3/4 since that’s what Couchscout has (6’5.8 is just rounded up from 6’5.75). Even if we just used Bennett’s combine measurement. It’s still gonna put Merriman no higher than the average guess if it is only a 3.5” difference as opposed to 4”. But in reality Rising said it in the post that it could be 3.75-4” which is how it looks for most. It’s arguable that it could be over 4” at some points really. And 3.5” for maybe a shorter period.

How? If anything it's a bit too high. He was measured 6'2.4". Besides, he has both 6'2" and 6'4" listings, so logically 6'2.81" isn't a bad average.

@Viper: how tall would you say Jonathan Ogden is? I see he was listed 6’9” his entire pro career but always said to be 6’8”. Apparently he was exactly 6’8” at the combine. You think chance at 6’7.5 since it is usually early morning? I don’t know how early it was held back then but he surely looks less than 6’9”

@Christian: I’m unsure as to exactly how tall Captain Jack is. I would’ve actually bought 6’6” flat like the newspaper listing had him but that could’ve been off. I tried comparing him to Reggie Miller and couldnt tell. Jackson did look taller than Metta Wold Peace however and he looked a half inch taller than Kawhi Leonard although Leonard doesn’t necessarily strike me as someone near 6’6” either. I used to feel that he was 6’5.5 but I wouldn’t be surprised he were 6’5.75 and given 6’6” and is really even 6’5.25 or 6’5 at a low. Leonard doesn’t look that tall imho for a 6’7” listed guy. Jackson though could look 6’6” with Duncan and MWP imho. Maybe 6’5.75 instead since I also have MWP 6’5.25 afternoon

@Viper: that’s how he looks in the video with Bennett to be quite honest. Best case 6’2 1/8 or 1/4 if we use a 3.5” difference worst case is 6’1.5 maybe but not sure how much that has to do with the camera. I think 6’2.5 is a good compromise. 6’2.4 that he measured at the PRO day is likely 6’2 3/8 as opposed to half. I don’t think that was in 1/8” increments as I saw some .8 and .9 as well. I saw Jason Witten listed 77.8 on his combine listing in one place which shows 6056 on his combine elsewhere.
viper said on 4/Dec/18
Merriman looked 6-1.5-6-2
Canson said on 28/Nov/18
@Viper: if you’re 6’2.75 at a low, you’re guessing Merriman as only 6’1.5 or less if it’s over an inch. How much diff did you see? I guess from the video it’s within the realm of possibility but he was 6’2.4 at his pro day. That’s a lot to have lost. I could buy maybe 6’1 7/8 unless he padded his socks or something. If you hit 6’2.75 then that’s your height you would be gauged at here on this site of course still rounded to 6’3” in every day conversation and I would just say 6’3 too
Canson said on 28/Nov/18
@Viper: Evans measured only 6’4.75. Chances are 6’4 3/8 or 1/4 honestly at his low over 6’4.5
Canson said on 27/Nov/18
@Rising: very interesting observation. I saw about the same. 4” for some of that video then 3.5 for parts and 3.5-4” for parts. There were times when Bennett actually appeared to have even more but not sure if that was just the camera. I still think it’s somewhere In the 3-4” range (closer to 4” than 3” imho). I would say that Bennett measuring 6’6 1/8” would probably come out to around 6’5.7 at a low (6’5 5/8 up to 6’5 3/4). Benefit of the doubt 6’5.75 and Merriman 6’2.25 imho. But Worst case tho is right where Viper saw him and Merriman could be weak 6’2”.

There are a lot of pics here , some he looks barely 6'2 , other indeed 6'4 , but if you scroll down and see the pic that I post of Shawne training with Armie Hammer , there is no way he is 6'4 , but 6'2 to me seems to be too low . The video of himself being measured is very weird . I could have done the same thing , telling to someone say that I'm 6'3 while taping when I'm clearly not .
Rising - 174 cm said on 26/Nov/18
@viper: Click Here It can actually look more before you consider Bennett is shortening his eye level. The difference between their heads is about 82 pixels then so if you compare that to Merriman's head(as 10") then it'd come out to almost exactly 4"(3.96") or just over 3.75" if you go with 9.5" for Merriman's head instead.
viper said on 26/Nov/18
He should be listed at 6-2.5 as a start. Please Rob
Editor Rob
I wonder if Merriman would be willing to take part in an impartial height measurement video!
Canson said on 26/Nov/18
@Christian: in regards to Vlakit, Both he and Viper claimed to see him up close. Not saying either didn’t and I can believe both may have but Viper’s encounter came at the same game I attended and also saw Merriman at although I was much further away than him so I couldn’t size him up. I actually would’ve believed and I did assume that he was 6’4 or 6’3 until Viper posted the evidence then I became skeptical and now I know he isn’t for sure. He’s def 6’2
Canson said on 26/Nov/18
@Christian: definitely agree

@Viper: I think 6’3 is a start. Rob acknowledges 3”. Still not a great listing but better than the current. At least only an inch off vs 2 or perhaps a bit more. I actually said 6’3 was a good listing earlier this year when this page was first opened just because we were all so split due to the pics favoring 6’4 then 6’3 then 6’2

He's nowhere close to 6-3.5 next to barefoot Martellus Bennett

Merriman looks nowhere close to 6-4, so I don't know why Rob keeps him there.

He needs to be downgraded to 6-2.5
Canson said on 25/Nov/18
@Viper: that would make him possibly 6’1.5 at a low
viper said on 25/Nov/18
Watching Texas A&M, the announcers are saying Kendrick Rogers is really 6-5-6-6
Even though he's listed mainly at 6-3 and 6-4.

Nobody thought Shannon Sharpe was 6-1 until it was discovered he was.
viper said on 24/Nov/18
Over an inch shorter. I'm 6-2.75 at my low.

@Canson

I think the only thing that's keeping Rob from downgrading Merriman is his supposed 6'4 3/8" measurement. Rob even said that he thinks he's 6'3"-6'4" but he still lists him at 6'4" for some reason. Just about everyone here, including Andrea, Junior and Sandy believes he's shorter than 6'4", as they have him at 6'3.5"

This is one example of what I was referring to with head length: Click Here If we can agree that's fairly representative of where their heads start and end then between the lines comes out to 190 pixels for Bennett and 207 for Merriman. Now this varies in the 3 stills I uploaded to where their heads are about equally long in one and Bennett's is a few pixels longer in another. Rob knows more about cameras than I do, but when someone is closer to the camera and getting a big height advantage, it often seems that their head winds up looking disproportionately long. I know tilting up and down can make the head longer/shorter as well, but nothing about their head size seems unusual in that pic, imo.

@Viper: Davis could even fall under by a hair
Canson said on 23/Nov/18
@Viper: 6’4 5/8 (morning) Vince Young is also at least 2” taller than Merriman

@Viper: you said you measure 6’2.75. Did you see Merriman as 1” shorter than you or was it more than that?
viper said on 22/Nov/18
Rodney Harrison has called 6-1 Muhammed Sanu 6-4 twice now.

Yet he called Matt Ryan just 6-4
viper said on 22/Nov/18
Rodney Harrison just called 6-2 Michael Thomas 6-3-6-4.
viper said on 22/Nov/18
Watching 6-2 Jonathan Allen getting walked off the field in the cowboys game.

He looks a couple of inches taller than Merriman physically. Looks closer to 6-4 the way he's towering over everyone on the training staff
viper said on 22/Nov/18
6-3 Vernon Davis is clearly taller
viper said on 22/Nov/18
Rob, I've seen him up close. He looked 6-1.5-6-2.

Nobody thought Shannon Sharpe was under 6-2.
viper said on 22/Nov/18
Rob, how can you not go that low when he was measured 6-2 at his pro day
Editor Rob
There's still the conflicting reports about that. You can find he was reported as 6ft 4 3/8ths from that event and some reporting he came in a couple of pounds heavier at 274.
Canson said on 22/Nov/18
@Viper: there’s no way that he’s losing 4” with Brees. And Booger McFarland claimed Brees is only 5’10”. Although He can look that sometimes, I don’t believe he’s that short either. Either way if Brees is 5’11-6’, he would be 6’2 tops
viper said on 22/Nov/18
It's high time Rob downgrades him to
6-2.5, when he's not even that tall.
viper said on 22/Nov/18
That is such an easy 4 inches between Merriman and Bennett
Canson said on 21/Nov/18
@Christian: another variable is where they were standing. If the grass isn’t even or if one had a footwear advantage as well as the distance in which they were standing from the person observing. If Merriman really were close to 6’4 like the poster is saying then it would mean that Bennett is near 6’8 when he measured practically 6’6” in the morning or even 6’7 if we go with what Rob says is only 3”. That definitely looks at least 3.5” as you Viper and even Rising who has plenty of credibility even said. Even if 3.5 it would still put Merriman around his Draftscout listing of 6’2.4. Maybe he’d end up 6’2 5/8 which is possible if his Pro Day were 6’2.4 since the combine is held a bit earlier.

@Viper: the barefoot comparison is the best. But he has a 6’2.4 measurement as well. That 6’2.4 is probably his real measurement. Maybe he’s 6’2 at his low like Rudy Gay said or near it. But that lady saying that isn’t really saying much. She may be bad at estimating height or may believe a 6’2 guy is 6’4 or may have assumed he was really 6’5 or more
Canson said on 21/Nov/18
@Rob: Christian has a point. He would still look around 6’4” if he were truly measured at that. All signs point to the 6’2.4 from Draft Scout being his actual measurement. Just like you pointed out that one time, 5111 was read as 5113. 6023 may have been read as 6043 since the 6’2.4 from Draftscout may have been 6’2 3/8 even. I say that because there are .8 and .9 measurements On draftscout. But Maybe it isn’t really a 4” difference but 3.5ish but even 6’3.5 is very high. I still remember the Instagram post where he joked about socks and someone even responded back 6’3 when he said he was 6’5. This was a response to his video that he posted of him being 6’5” (where he negotiated with the woman to make him 6’5).

Merriman was measured 6-2 at his pro day, yet I don't understand why Rob doesn't see it.
Canson said on 21/Nov/18
@Rob: maybe a solid 6’3. even if that is only a 3” difference between the two, a guy 6’6.1 would be 6’5 3/4” at a low given when he was measured thus making Merriman 6’2 3/4 at a low which is slightly below 6’3-6’4 zone. But even if he is 6’3-6’4 that makes little sense after he “allegedly” measured 6’4 3/8. He would likely be a solid 6’4 or 6’3 7/8 which for all intents and purposes is right at 6’4” (close enough to where it’s not even worth saying 6’3/6’4)
viper said on 21/Nov/18
Rob you know it's high time he's downgraded to 6-2.5, when he's not even that tall.
Editor Rob
I wouldn't go that low, but I could see somewhere in 6ft 3 range as not an impossibility.
Canson said on 20/Nov/18
@184guy: imho if Rob is right about a 3” difference instead of 4”, I could see him measuring 6’3 1/8 perhaps since Bennett measured 6’6 1/8” but even then it would make him 6’2.75 or 6’2 5/8 at a low since the combine is early morning. I too would believe a 6’3.25 or more specifically a 6’3” flat listing before I believed that he were 6’4”.
viper said on 20/Nov/18
Vlakit, how do you explain 6-6 Martellus Bennett with 4 inches on Merriman, both barefoot. Merriman with perfect posture and Bennett loose posture. Click Here

I can. Merriman was measured 6-2 at his pro day.

This person is disappointed Merriman is not 6-3 or 6-4. Click Here

Listed 6-3 in college and measured 6-2 at his pro day. I just don't understand how Rob doesn't see it
viper said on 20/Nov/18
Rob, he's not even 6-2.5
viper said on 20/Nov/18
Vlakit, I've seen Merriman 5 feet away from me and he looked 6-1.5-6-2
Canson said on 20/Nov/18
Looks same height with Brees as he did in the video
