If this guy is a weak 6ft5 then Eli is potentially 6ft4 flat
-----------
So that means if Peyton is a strong 6ft5 would that make Eli 6ft4.5?

Editor Rob with a bit more hair recession than his youth it probably seems more, but 5-5.2 range is probable.

Yes, this listing seems accurate. You forget how tall he is, when he is surrounded by other NFL players around the 6'2-6'4 range, but then when you see him with average sized people without his gear, he definitely stands out. He looked around the same height as 6'5 JJ Watt in their Papa John's commercial. He has about an inch on Eli, it seems whenever they are standing together. One of the greatest QB's to ever play on the gridiron, and I feel fortunate to have seen two legends in Manning and Brady play for the right to be in the Super Bowl over the years. On a side note, he does have a large forehead!

He looks a solid foot if not more shorter than Yao Ming considering Yao ming likely has a 10+ inch head. But is comparing with giants like Yao even worth it?

@Nck: well maybe you use a different tape measure than I do or a cm is different that side of the Atlantic. If you look correctly he looks 1-2 cm and that includes his hair. Sorry but Manning is at least 195 still. They are almost the same height in other pics. You aren't very good with telling differences it appears

@Nick: this is a better pic of Peyton and JJ no distorted view and side by side. They are almost the same (JJ has him by about a CM). Peyton wasn't measured with shoes he was a strong 6'5 in his prime. He edges out a Tom Brady (brady is as listed confirmed by Brad and Bobby3342).

@Nick: go look at the Papa Johns commercials from last year with Joe Montana and JJ and Peyton. 4-5cm? Peyton isn't 192 or 193. You saw that? I don't for sure. I'd say if anything Peyton is 195 now a days Watt is Christian's height at 196. On a side note tho I did have a friend who is 6'2 tell me he fought Peyton was 6'4 and change and while I didn't agree before I can now as he likely met him after injuries set in but 6'4 and change is extreme. I'd go with almost 6'5.

according to these commercials and some pics Manning looking at least 2" or about 4/5cm shorter than JJ Watts hence if JJ Watts is 196cm Manning can't be more than 192cm/193cm tops. Maybe Manning measurement was taken with shoes on.

He is shorter than JJ Watt (6'5 3/8 combine) in this pic and at the Espys. That'd likely put Watt as a solid 196 (at best) at his lowest since combine measurements are held earlier in the day. Don't doubt Peyton was a legit 196 in his prime but today can see him under 6'5 barefoot but absolutely no less than 195cm either

@Christian: I agree with you 100%. And in his prime he'd have been close in height with you. He was at his low prob a legit 196 and today with the age and injuries may only be 195 flat (he looks similar to Kobe) and also Cam (who may fall to 195 as well$

@Shane: the more and more I think about it, you have a really really good point about your measurement too! At my peak I was prob close to 6'5.25 maybe a mm below it and went to bed around 6'4.5 or a mm below and got 6'5 from most (still do today at 6'4 3/8). It's true that many people would measure AM and not think much of it (meaning outside this site). And especially if you're a still around 6'1.5 afternoon or late day you'd be within range to round so you prob would appear 6'2 and esp if in a higher shoe would prob always get it or even a full 6'3"

@175: my suspicion is he has lost height or wasn't standing straight or that Kobe had a slim footwear advantage. I have always had Kobe 194-195 range around maybe 6'4 1/2 maybe 5/8ish but possible he is a full 3/4 and that manning lost some height along the way. He was in papa johns commercials with JJ watt and looked shorter. Keep in mind Watt was 6'5 3/8 and that's likely a morning measurement as well. He looked a hair shorter tho so maybe 1/4" or so. I can see if Eli measured what he did Kobe being his height more than Peyton.

I stand corrected he was measured 6'6 3/8. Interesting Mike glennon shows a 6'7 1/8 measurement but is listed at 6'6. Wonder if he asked to be put there (I saw he almost didn't play football in high school because he was too tall for the school's regulation or if they measured him just over 6'7 early in the AM and got maybe 6'6.5-.75 another time. He's actually from my hometown in Virginia

Btw the 6063 for flacco is 6'6 1/4. They round up. I've heard many people who have met Flacco in person describe him as 6'5-6'6. Meaning he likely drops below the 6'6 mark but he has a long torso. Conceivably could see 197 cm at his lowest

The 6'5.25 was prob his afternoon measurement may now only be 6'5 or lower afternoon (JJ Watt has him by a hair in the Papa Johns Comm). I have to honestly say I'd buy 6'5 7/8 out of bed maybe 6'6 in his prime especially when he said 6'5 1/2 before

Yeah NFL is random with their rounding at times you know. I believe a player can claim their height as they choose to a certain limit, though the NFLdraftscout heights are usually right. Peyton also possibly wears boots as well, just saying.

I doubt Eli is 195cm.
1.He consistently looks 2-3cm shorter than 196cm Peyton.
2. If Eli was actually measured at 6' 4.75", his listed height would have been rounded up to 6' 5". But he's listed at 6' 4". So that should tell you he's around that listing.
I would put him at 193 or 194.

Rob, what do yout think, how tall Aaron Rodgers is? When you search for "Aaron Rodgers height" on google it shows he's really sensitive about his height and other people commenting it....and when you take a look at his pictures with Brett Favre who's a legit 6'2'' you can obviously see the difference in height at least by an inch...

Editor Rob I read the page, I think it's a bit of humour, I doubt he's really that sensitive. But then, how many want to be told they are smaller than they thought? On the combine he was supposed to have been measured bang on 6ft 2!
On a side note, when you start worrying too much about what others think, you become more restricted in life and don't take chances or do things that YOU love out of fear at what 'so and so will think'.

@Chubby Checker:
The combine measurements are not gospel and shouldn't be considered as such. We don't know whether they are in shoes or not. From my knowledge of the practice squad, Some are and some aren't.
I agree tho about flacco. He probably is actually 6'6 as I think more height for him actually hurts him as a QB. We saw Brock osweiler get downgraded from 6'8 to 6'7 after it was revealed he was in shoes previously and is only 6'6 7/8 barefoot. Same with Cam Newton where he was billed 6'6 and is now 6'5. Don't know with Peyton though. He may have been 6'4 and change and they may have measured him in shoes and given him 6'5 or it's possible he was referring to him being 6'6 when he is in shoes. Either way I've heard him now say 6'4 6'5 and 6'6.

I have met flacco in person. He is more 6'5 (6'5-6'5.25) than 6'6+. That was probably with shoes. I'm just under 6'5 (6'4 5/8) and I saw close to an inch not 2.

A friend of mine from Idaho has met John Elway, and he said that he's 6'1" or 6'2" (and has said that I'm taller than him), so I don't think that he was ever 6'3". I'm certainly not past 6'3", or even 6'3".

Eli at 6'4 3/4 still gets listed at 6'4 and Ben at 6'5 yet both guys were measured just about the same. Ben 6'4 7/8 and Eli 6'4 3/4 but because they were more morning measurement you can knock off 1/8-1/4 to get their evening height prob.

Well I think he came out in the early 80s and also he wasn't in the real draft either. He was in some sort of developmental kind of thing. I think they started to do the 1/8 inch thing probably around the time they started to count the 40 times electronically, which was in 1999.

In his story he wrote himself he said he is really 6 feet even but he wrote 6 feet 2 because well he wanted to be 6 feet 2. It was just his height in shoes. So I guess I am good at guessing a guys height :p
So it does show that some other guys are shorter than they claim I guess.

You know after checking to see more pictures of both Eli and Peyton, I can believe Eli is about 6 feet 4 3/4 now. He looks about 1/2 shorter than his Brother.

Crypto, also those measurements are done in later morning so you can knock off 1/8-1/4 inch id say to get their low. Eli and Ben are measured within 1/4 of each other but Eli rounded down to 6'4 and Ben rounded up to 6'5. Eli more a legit 6'4.5 prob?

While Gretzky looks to be about 182 cm tall there, he is closer to the camera. So he could be under 182 if Jordan really is 6 feet 4.5 and not taller.
But Look at Elway and Jordan again. Now Jordan is listed at 6 feet 5 on here but Manning is listed at 6 feet 5.25 on this site as well.
Click Here
Now on my last post you can see Elway is just below Jordan in height. But on here he is WELL below Manning's height. I remember hearing people start shrinking at 40. Every decaded after 40 until 70 you shrink 1 cm on average if male I believe. A person also is 1/8 of an inch shorter when they turn 40 on average according to another source I heard of.
If Elway follows a normal pattern could be 1.5 cm short than he was at peak these days.
Still he looks too short next to Manning for Jordan and Manning to be the same height. Also Drew Bledsoe is listed at 6 feet 5 but is taller than Manning. Is this another one of these Favre, Montana, and Young comparisons. Except they are all listed at 6 feet 5 instead of 6 feet 2.

Yeah I am almost sure Manziel is done growing at that age. By the way though I always wanted to know the height of someone else that has never been talked about on this site. How tall is the great Wayne Gretzky? You know the best hockey player ever. He is listed at 6 feet even on 90 percent of all sites but some list him as 5 feet 11. I am shocked no one has ever talked about him to be honest.

Johnny Manziel is done growing. I've had a few friends who finished growing at 18-19 but never anyone older than that. The rare cases of men growing taller after late teens are usually fables or extreme rare exceptions.

Well I guess that explains the whole Favre, Montana, and Young debate, and explains why both Randy Moss and Tom Brady are listed at 6 feet 4 when one is an inch taller than another. Also why is Russell Wilson being listed a 5 feet 10 when he is like a solid 180 cm or 5-10 7/8 tall guy(at least he was measured that early on.)
Seems to be somewhat random to me and also they seem to downgrade all the qbs(expect for Steve Young)

Well it seems some nfl players get either upgraded or downgraded for what ever reason. Moss is 6 feet 3 3/8 and Brady is 6 feet 4 3/8 but both are listed at the same 6 feet 4 inch height. So things can be crazy sometimes. Difference is small but a little above 191 cm vs a bit below 194 is a difference.

Also Favre, Rodgers, Montana and Young are all listed at 6 feet 2. I Wonder which one is really 6 feet 2?

If you're calling into questions professional measurements into question - some of which are before cameras - I really don't know what to tell you. There might be a few mis-measures during these events, but they are the rule and not the exception, and they probably aren't that big of a mis-measure. You're essentially implying a conspiracy. If you're going to doubt an event like the combine to the degree that you are, then you shouldn't believe ANY other evidence presented on this website, pictures, vids, whatever.

I'm concerned; a lot of his estimates are completely non-sensical, and I'm not just talking a difference of opinion, but listing people three and five inches off their mark.

@Seahawksfan Johnny Manziel at 6-4.25!! Try 5-11.5. Some of your estimates are good but others are way off. Foles is more of 6-4.5. Brady measured 6-4 3/8 at the combine therefore no way is he as low as 6-3.25. There is a little over an inch of difference between Brady and Manning.

@Mike 181 - They are a bit inconsistent with what they do with fractions. You occasionally guys who have a .25" at the end of their measurement rounded up and some guys with a .5" on their measurement rounded down. Every once in a while guys can even get upgraded or downgraded by a whole inch of more (when this happens it's usually upgraded, but a select very few players are listed short too). The NFL in general is more accurate than the MLB, and obviously much more than NBA. Most likely if they measured you at 5'11.5" you would be listed at 6'0".
Peyton is 6'5.25" and a great quarterback.

Most NFL measurements are done in the combine which is a couple hours after players wake so their measurements are slightly higher than Rob wants them to claim. If 6'5.25" was earlier in the day he likely drops to 6'5" flat.

@Nate - Peyton said he was 6'5" in the commercial and he's taller than Brady for sure. They measure the guys before they're drafted Peyton measured 6-5 1/4 and Brady measured 6-4 3/8.

@Nate - Peyton said he was 6'5" in the commercial and he's taller than Brady for sure. They measure the guys before they're drafted Peyton measured 6-5 1/4 and Brady measured 6-4 3/8.

Manning did a commercial about five or six years ago and said he was 6'4". You shouldn't rely on what he told the papers when he was a rookie. I'm a huge pats fan and if he and brady changed uniforms you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Both 6'4"give or take half an inch.

Does the nfl round down when a player is a height plus .5"? I'm wondering, like when do they usually round up?

My uncle has worked in NFL scouting for years. He was with The Miami Dolphins when Jimmy Johnson was the HC & also when Dave Wannstedt was the HC '96-'03. After Dave was fired he worked with Parcells in Dallas for a couple of seasons. And he is now a scouting advisor for the Carolina Panthers. And he had & has all kinds of scouting info and physical results from all NFL teams. I also played football in college from '94-'97 at WVU & spent one camp with the Carolina Panthers before getting cut. I then played a few seasons of Arena League Football. So, him & I are both sports & football nuts. And measurables geeks...guess that's why I work in engineering & geology now?...LOL!

You are correct Matthew....Dolphins did measure Moss at 6'3 3/8".....the 6'3 5/8" was a typo by me. Everyone else had him anywhere from 6'3 3/4" to 6'4". So,...I gotta assume Other teams & his proday where morning workouts...and Miami must have worked him out & measured him in the evening.
Okay, that makes sense. It's kind of funny how they try to call him 6'5" durring games sometimes. Out of curiousity, where do you get the team measurements from? That's good information.

These guys get measured in the morning but could be withina couple hours of waking so they wont be at their maximum height anyway. Probably around 1/4 inch less. You'll lose 1/4 inch fast after waking up I think.

Actually Combine stats, except for the 40 yards time, are very accurate. I was unfortunate to assist the 2008 combine, and let me tell you, these kids are treated like cattle. As for Brady's combine height, he was listed at 6.046. That's 6'4". I don't know how much the "6" stands for. By the way, the USA needs to adopt the metric system.

The Marino-Montana comparison is completely relevent. Theyre comparable players from a different era. Marino being the one who can't win in playoff games, and Montana Being the one who can.
As for the Patriots winning because of defense, I dont disagree that they had a solid defense. But regardless of that, Brady still had to march them back on several occasions in the dying moments of a postseason (esp suberbowls) to be in a position to win.
When has Manning truly done that in the playoffs versus his donks? As far as skill set goes, I'd be alright for saying they're on the same level, but as far as being clutch, and poised, Manning can't compete with Brady at all, and that just happens to be one of the most important assets a QB can have

As far as skill set goes, I'd be alright for saying they're on the same level, but as far as being clutch, and poised, Manning can't compete with Brady at all, and that just happens to be one of the most important assets a QB can have

JD, your argument has many flaws. The Patriots D and Bellicheck is what made NE great all those years along with Brady of course, but mainly the D. The Colts had no D except for two undersized DE's and. Also yeah, Harrison was a burner a few years ago, but the Colts always had undersized recievers that used to get held and bullied in the playoffs. Look at this year, the Colts would have been lucky to win 4 games without Manning, he seriously willed the Colts to at least 8 wins this year by taking them down the field in the 4th quarter. Not to mention the Colts small receivers were dropping balls and had trouble getting open and of course absolutely no running game. Manning had to make many risky plays to put the Colts in a position to win and he succeeded. Compare that to NE this, Brady get's injured but the Pats still win 11 games, because of their coach (D schemes) and Cassel's stability. All I'm saying is in terms of who's better Arguments can be made for both. And yeah I think Manning did get a superbowl when the D decided to play, so the Marino Montana comparo is irrelevent to the Manning/Brady debate. Manning=Brady for now, let's see yrs from now what their full careers are exposed.
Sorry for being offtopic but I would like to add some pro-Manning food for thought on his page. Then again there is no question about his listed height so what else to we have to discuss? :)

clay, have you followed the nfl since the year 2000? Last I checked Brady can actually win playoff games. Not to mention Manning has had Harrison his entire life, with james as halfback for the brunt of time. in addition theyve had clarke and wayne. offensively manning has always had multiple weapons. take a look at the patriots when they won their superbowls, they had weak running game, one above average reciever. That taken into consideration, they still won those superbowls, and knocked off the colts more than once. In my eyes, and the eyes of the majority, quarterbacks are measured primarily on whether or not they can win, and whether or not they can win superbowls. Would you rather have Dan Marino or Joe Montana? I'll let you decide

These measurements for the players are taken in the morning. Not right out of bed but surely they're close to their max height for the day so you can probably take off 1/4-1/2 inch off their measured height and thats their height they are longest during the day I'd say.

Most corners are 5'10, 5'11 so yes its average for that position. Running backs range from 5'6-6'4 so 5'10'' could be seen as average though most of them are at least 5'11'' today. Though over 6'1'' for a running back is rare and un conventional but Brandon Jacobs at 6'4'' is a horse, I wish we had em in Seattle. Most safeties are 6'0, give or take an inch. Outside linebackers are 6'2-6'3 on average and 5'10'' is dwarf-like at on the offensive and defensive lines, you just dont see it.

5'10 for a RB is average and its a good height for one but for a CB 5'10 is a bit short since you'll have WRs 6'2 or taller sometimes. A good height for a CB would be 6'1-6'2 I think especially when you gotta guard someone 6'3-6'5.

All NFL players heights are verified to the 8th of an inch at the NFL combine, Senior All-Star games, and Pro Days. 6'5 1/2 sounds good to me. And 5'10 is short for the NFL, unless you are a runningback. At corner is short, but not short enough to really hold you back. And the average man 18-35 can run a 40 in under 6 seconds. To run a 4.5 takes a ton of natural ability. If a reciever runs a 4.6 at the combine, he is probably running a 4.9/4.8 during the season. I ran a 4.8 thoughout all of college and at my Pro Day (I was a long shot even for CFL, and I'm Canadian) I ran a 4.58. Preperation is how these guys run so fast

As for 5'10" in football, it can be quite average pending the position. For example, 5'10" for a RB or a safety isn't out of the ordinary at all. However, 5'10" for a QB or the OL/DL is basically shrimp like.

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.

Anderson is 6'6". JaMarcus Russell and Peyton Manning are both 6'5 1/2". Byron Leftwich I believe is a flat 6'5".

How tall is Derek Anderson? He might be the tallest QB in the NFL.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Flutie was 5'7 I read actually.
I think 6'2 and up is best for a QB actually.
