Steve Young's Height
6ft 0 (182.9 cm)
American, former football player, who was Quarterback for The Los Angeles Express, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers. He once said of his height: "I’m not 6-foot-2, I’m 6-foot", and also in BYU "I'm only 6 feet tall. My football card says 6-foot-2, and in shoes I really am 6-2, but it was a dream to be 6-2 because “6-foot” and “quarterback” don't go together well in the NFL because everybody else is 6-5, 6-6".

@Christian: he never threw out a number. He just said he thought I was taller than that. As soon as he said Young was 6’2” the next time I kinda thought to myself I can’t take this guy seriously

If he measured 6'0 5/8", then 6'0 1/8" will likely be his low. I've never heard of a football player being measured at night.

@RP
If he really was 6'0 5/8", why did he claim 6 feet multiple times? Especially being an athlete in a sport where taller height is advantageous.

Nah, he always seemed 6 flat. Doubt he grew more, saw him in early 80's around town once in awhile, same height as he says. Probably same today.

@Bradly If he ACTUALLY did play football while you were in high school, then he was likely between the ages of 16-18. Therefore, he might have still been growing taller during that time.

Rob, his quote " 6-foot-2, and in shoes" what type of shoes would give him 2 inches boost?

he looks to be the same height as peak harrison ford. this is the lowest i argue for him. could be closer to 184 cm. 183,6 is my vote

Even if he has claimed to be 6'0", I do think that he does look to be around 6'0 1/4"-6'0 1/2". He was about 1-2 CM shorter than Jerry Rice, who looks to be around 6'1".

For his honesty I give him a fraction over this. Possibly in the morning he did get measured at that and from there would easily hit 6ft2 range in boots. Maybe he was 6ft1 out of bed...

rob, if you have an option to put steves peak height would it be 6'0.25 or 6'0.5?

Editor RobWell he only claimed the 6ft, I wonder if he was 6ft 1/2 inch whether he has mentioned it before.

Editor RobIt's not impossible, at least 6ft 1 or 2 is impossible though
