How tall is Peyton Manning

Elais said on 6/Dec/24
@Canson yeah probably a 3/4 inch difference could be closer indeed

Canson said on 1/Dec/24
@Robbe: they look close to their listed heights. Pierce solid 6’6 or a hair under and manning prob 6’5 flat now which is prob what he was at a low (maybe 1/8” over) peak

Robbe said on 30/Nov/24
Same fan with Peyton, and Paul Pierce Click Here

Canson said on 2/Oct/24
@Elias: prob more like 2 cm over his brother. Ron could stand to knock 1/4” off Eli and that’s prob his lunchtime. Peyton is prob about right then dips to 6’5 1/8” maybe 6’5 flat later

Elais said on 30/Sep/24
Eye level looks 5 inches but the illusion of his bigger forehead and high hairline makes it look even more. Half an inch taller than his brother imo

185.4cm Elais said on 16/Sep/23
His eye level is quite low I would've guessed like 5 inches or maybe even more

Crypto139 said on 29/Jan/23
Heyo Rob, Eli Manning has insinuated twice that he is taller than his brother Peyton (as of now he means I think). Do you buy that Peyton might have shrunk enough to be shorter than his brother now? They look even atm to me due to his forehead, but he used to be taller

Alex 6ft said on 26/Sep/22
Canson, Minneapolis miracle in 2018 then 2019 the robbed pass interference call then 2020 looked a push off td. Saints were top team over a decade but Brees never had a top defense is prob why didn't get more than 1 ring.

Canson said on 12/Sep/22
@Alex: Brees got robbed a couple times. I remember the game against Minnesota a few years back and the one in 2019 where he lost to LA I believe

Jawilder said on 11/Sep/22
@Alex yup, I would give everything for Brees to have one more ring. New Orleans needed it. At least we got one.

Alex 6'0 said on 9/Sep/22
Rodgers and Brees should both have more than 1 ring each.

Jawilder said on 8/Sep/22
Yeah Rodgers is known by many as the most talented qb of all time. I wouldn’t disagree with that at all. But talent only takes you so far.

viper said on 6/Sep/22
IMO Rodgers has more natural talent than Peyton

viper said on 4/Sep/22
Marino's velocity was out of this world

Watching early highlights the camera would have trouble following the ball

The 84 Dolphins were easily the best Superbowl team Montana beat.

Better team than any Brady has beaten in the Superbowl

viper said on 4/Sep/22
Marino is the best pure passer ever.

His 84 season in mind boggling, and wasn't surpassed until Brees did it some years ago in a much easier passing NFL league

Jawilder said on 31/Aug/22
There’s no doubt Marino is one of the most talented qbs of all time. Some would argue he is the most talented to ever play. That’s super cool Canson. Where’d you meet him? You felt a solid inch taller you’d say ?

Alex 6'0 said on 31/Aug/22
If Marino had a solid defense he'd had at least 1 ring. Those 90s dolphin teams too were decent were one and done in the playoffs

Canson said on 30/Aug/22
@Jawilder: in terms of talent I’d have to add Dan Marino. I’ve met Marino before. Nice guy. He’s an inch shorter than me like Rob lists him lol

Jawilder said on 29/Aug/22
I think any list with Peyton outside the top 3 is a complete joke. He’s an easy 🔒for top 3.

Alex 6'0 said on 28/Aug/22
Whether you love him or hate him Brady will go down as #1 qb all time. Montana is #2 on most people list. 3-5 varies. Peyton arguable top 10 over top 5 for some.

Jawilder said on 27/Aug/22
I didn’t meet Peyton, but I’ve met Eli before he didn’t speak much because he was with his nephews, but he seemed nice. He signed one of my hats. I live a couple blocks over from the Manning’s so I see Archie’s wife going on walks occasionally. Saw little Arch riding his bike around a couple times. Met Archie in the dome at an Ole Miss game when I was a little kid.

Hyper said on 26/Aug/22
Rob, one of my current neighbors met him in his prime. I saw a newspaper picture of them. Peyton looked this listing at least.

I just found out about this today. I think he would very well be this listing at least.

viper said on 26/Aug/22
Yeah, but both Peyton and Montana had waaaaaayy better offensive talent to work with.

Brady had Moss but he didn't even win a Superbowl with Moss. Brady probably wins a title with Moss had he not been out for the 2008 season.

Like I said, it's not even close. 10 Superbowls, 7 titles, on TWO different teams.

He's in the discussion for best NFL player ever.

Jawilder said on 26/Aug/22
@Canson And had the greatest coach of all time, and had really good defenses majority of his career. Also possibly a cheater. However, his stats and accomplishments are just unreal, they will never be topped. Having him at #1 feels like a no brainer to me.

With Manning/Montana, it is completely subjective. There is no right answer. Peyton was the better overall quarterback imo but Joe was more clutch which is what really matters. Joe also had much better defenses than Peyton for more seasons. His main asset was very arguably the greatest NFL player of all time (imo the greatest NFL player of all time). Joe going 4-4 is probably the most insane accomplishment in football, so just for that I can see him getting the edge over Manning. Tougher era, maybe. I could buy that. But not even close to a big difference.

Either way, all three quarterbacks were pure greatness. Here’s to the best time of the year, college football season!

Canson said on 26/Aug/22
@Viper: he may be the GOAT but if you look at Jim Kelly, he was in 4 straight in the 90s but I wouldn’t consider him as one of the greatest although he was good

Canson said on 25/Aug/22
@Viper: Brady played behind one of the greatest offensive lines ever at various points and always had a great one via paycuts

viper said on 24/Aug/22
Brady is so great he's in the discussion for best NFL player ever

He is the GOAT of quarterbacks and it's not close. He's been in half of the Superbowls the last 20 years. Think about that.

viper said on 24/Aug/22
Canson, 10 Superbowls and 7 titles.

I know Montana played in a tougher era and going 4-4 is very impressive but no, Montana is not better than Brady

viper said on 24/Aug/22
IMO Staubach was better than Aikman.

Staubach was great

Canson said on 21/Aug/22
I will say that he has always had the best offensive line in the league though but that’s because he never takes the money he is due.

Canson said on 21/Aug/22
@Jawilder: maybe he is. In terms of stats and accomplishments he is. But Montana won 4 and went 4 for 4 in a tougher era. But If he is Montana is second. Lol I Have Aikman because I’m a cowboys fan

Jawilder said on 18/Aug/22
@Canson yeah, I would disagree with you there. I believe Brady is the unanimous #1. Then Peyton or Montana can be argued, but I lean towards Manning without question. I’m a saints fan, so Drew Brees is the real #1!!!

Canson said on 18/Aug/22
@Jawilder: I have Montana as one and Brady as two. Wish I could pick Aikman but that would be biased lol

Jawilder said on 15/Aug/22
I don’t disagree that Montana has every right to be #2, but so does Peyton Manning. I disagree that there is an obvious top 2, I don’t think that’s the case at all.

viper said on 14/Aug/22
Nah, he played in a dome which helped him tremendously. Same with Brees

Ranking the top 5 is a bit tough but Brady and Montana are the obvious top 2

Jawilder said on 14/Aug/22
Brady is the best. I’d put Manning at second best.

viper said on 13/Aug/22
LOL at Peyton the best. Brady has been to 10 Superbowls and has 7 rings. He's unanimously the best

Most people rank Montana 2nd

Seahawksr said on 11/Aug/22
The Greatest QB of all time with 5 MVPs! He would be the same height as Bills QB Josh Allen. Between 0.5-1 inch taller than Brady and his brother Eli. His older brother who was a star wide receiver Cooper would be around 6'3.

David Tang said on 12/Jun/22
hey rob how tall would you guess number 77 to be. the guy on his right number 76 claims 6ft (claims) and he claims 6'4, but he looks no more than 6'2.5-6'3 with the guy. heres with the guy (#77) also another photo with a guy on his left (#75) listed at 6'4 and he looks an inch shorter and the guy on his right looks to have worse or same posture as him. In another photo with a 6'1 guy, he looked no more than 6'2.5-6'3. although he was slouched but he was closer to camera.
Click Here (first comparison)
Click Here
He also had 6'3 listed on his maxpreps account as a junior in high school.
Click Here comparison)

Canson said on 20/May/22
@Alex: he’s also measured 6’5 3/8” at his Pro Day. I’m thinking that is at Minimum 1 hour out of bed if not 2-3. He didn’t look under 6’5 flat in his prime. That I could buy. He could look his listed height here at times too

Alex 6'0 said on 24/Apr/22
6'5.25 how early was it? If midday then he's still a solid 6'5-6'5 1/8. If it was earlier morning then he dropped to worst 6'4 7/8

Canson said on 22/Apr/22
@Vincent: I’m still not sure what he was at his peak. 6’5 or 6’5.25” but yea he’s prob a solid 6’5 if he stands straight today. Now JJ Watt looked slightly taller but I think Watt is close to his combine measurement. That’s a rarity

Vincent Caleb said on 21/Apr/22
I don’t think he is under 6’5” when measured even today.

IceCold said on 20/Apr/22
He can look sub 6'5, but probably still had the slight edge on Kobe. Maybe he is a bit under 6'5 now

IceCold said on 20/Apr/22
If you look closely at the picture of Green and Manning, you will see that even the slouching Draymond is still edge Peyton, even by their's eye level

IceCold said on 20/Apr/22
Here Peyton next to listed 6'5 1/4 Draymond Green Click Here

Draymond is slouching. He is taller than Manning

IceCold said on 20/Apr/22

Cam most of players whose measurements looks a legit.

Peyton max 6'5 again

IceCold said on 19/Apr/22
@Canson, 6'5 1/4 likely wasn't at a low. So 6'5 max and 6'4 7/8 min

Canson said on 18/Apr/22
@Ice Cold: that’s the same zone I have for Peyton. I’d have said solid 6’5 min and 6’5.25 peak max

IceCold said on 2/Apr/22
Hyper, i think Peyton 6'5 flat and Kobe 6'4.75 as listed

Hyper said on 1/Apr/22
@IceCold

The camera angle favors Kobe a lot more than Peyton. In other shots were it is neutral, Peyton is taller.

IceCold said on 1/Apr/22
@Hyper, Bad pic. There's a video of them Click Here.

Don't forget peyton has a hair, while Kobe - isn't.
I don't think there's much between them

Hyper said on 1/Apr/22
@IceCold

Click Here

Look at the top of their heads. Don’t be fooled by Kobe Bryant’s eye level.

IceCold said on 31/Mar/22
@Hyper They looked so close in height that you could hardly tell the difference. Maybe Peyton pick was 196 cm, but today he looks more 6'5 flat. If not under next to J.J Watt

Hyper said on 31/Mar/22
I looked at the pictures of Peyton and Kobe Bryant. Peyton really looked taller than Kobe Bryant. It’s more obvious than I thought.

Jawilder said on 16/Mar/22
I think he is close to an inch taller than his brother. I actually met Eli when I was 12 or so and got a giants hat autographed by him, he was super chill didn’t talk much at all. I’ve met Archie at an Ole Miss game when I was around 16? against Tulane. I’ve seen Arch ride his bike around my neighborhood a couple times with an LSU shirt on once!

Peyton 6’5 1/8
Eli 6’4 3/8

Canson said on 15/Mar/22
@Viper: not so sure he did. That may be more late morning or lunch. I don’t necessarily rule it out although I could see 6’5 7/8 instead out of bed

ChristianPerkins said on 15/Mar/22
viper said on 15/Mar/22
He measured 6-5.25 in the morning, so he's not 6-6 out of bed
---
I wouldn't quite say so. Most likely a noon or even late morning measurement though.

viper said on 15/Mar/22
Ryan Leaf claims he has grown taller, and said he measured 6-5 7/8 when he actually measured 6-5 3/8

I don't buy it

viper said on 15/Mar/22
He measured 6-5.25 in the morning, so he's not 6-6 out of bed

David Tang said on 2/Jan/22
out of bed. easy 6'6. before bed 6'5.25 or a tad under.

Canson said on 1/Jan/22
I’d say 197-198 range out of bed if not the full 198 and then 196.2 or 196.5 could be midday. He had a chance at his peak of the listing above for his afternoon or maybe 6 5 1/8” but def not below 6’5. Today looks a touch shorter than JJ Watt

Canson said on 1/Jan/22
@Ian: agreed peak 196 guy.

Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 31/Dec/21
defo a strong 6'5, i would ay 6'5.25 is the him on a good day, can look closer to 6'5,5 sometimes, maybe on his best day, and won't go lower than 6'5 on a bad day either.
196-196,5 cm for Peyton

Canson said on 18/Dec/21
@Dillon: that’s not a great pic but Watt has a slight footwear advantage on Manning and Manning isn’t standing his tallest there. However he did look taller in the Papa Johns commercials than Manning so maybe it’s a centimeter between them. I agree with Viper that Manning is not under 6’5”. But I think he may just be a flat 6’5”. Watt can honestly look near his draft listing. I’d say on a arrange he looks at least 196 cm range

viper said on 17/Dec/21
Manning is definitely still 6-5

Dillon Rice said on 13/Dec/21
I don’t think Manning is 6’5” anymore. Looks clearly shorter than JJ Watt who measured 6’5 3/8” I think. Honestly he looks about 3 inches shorter in this picture but it’s probably the camera angle or something.

Alex 6'0 said on 17/Nov/21
Hes not on here but former qb Michael Vick i know was listed 6'0 and even 6'1. What was his combine height?

Canson said on 14/Nov/21
@Alex: looked that. At worst a CM

Alex 6'0 said on 16/Oct/21
Ben looked maybe half inch on Eli?

Canson said on 13/Oct/21
@Rampage: he has a 6’5 3/8 measurement too. I think that’s where the half comes from. Not sure 6’5.25 is even quite a low but it’s close. A peak manning was at least 196. I have Eli as a solid 194 since the combines are usually earlier. Some guys are near it while others are measured earlier. Eli also looks noticeably shorter than Roethlisberger who I believe is near his measurement of 6’4 7/8”. Worst case he’s a solid 195

Jawilder said on 13/Oct/21
Average guess seems about right. 6’5-6’5.25”. 3/4-1inch taller than Eli.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Oct/21
Rob, flat 6ft5 possible?


It'd be at worst though. The current listing is fair as well. He may well have got 6ft5½ mid-morning though. I think Eli could be more 6ft4½ though

Canson said on 7/Oct/21
@Vincent: yea to me 6’5.25 peak maybe and 6’5-6’5 1/8 now

Vincent Caleb said on 5/Oct/21
Yes, Peyton is marginally taller than kobe. 6’5” flat or maybe even this listing is accurate.

recapa said on 4/Oct/21
195.5-196 peak, 195-195.5 nowdays.

Alex 6'0 said on 3/Oct/21
Derrick Henry i was wondering about. I seem him measured at 6'2.65 at combine on one site. Solid 6'2.25 guy id give him

Canson said on 22/Sep/21
@Stalker China: I believe he could be his listing but Kobe was his listing (6’4.75) as well. Manning was taller imho

Stalker China said on 21/Sep/21
yes. strong 6'5. and i would say at least 6'5/25 for Kobe Bryant, because he edges Peyton

Alex 6'0 said on 14/Sep/21
I'd think Baker is still 6'0 1/8-6'0.25. Thats gonna look small on field near 6'5-6'6 linemen lol

Canson said on 13/Sep/21
@Alex: he had another at 6’0 1/8” but that was in college I think. But he looks small on the field so I’d say still possible. Yea Russ was measured 5’10 5/8 but also 5’10 1/4”. He’s overlisted

Alex 6'0 said on 12/Sep/21
Baker Mayfield measured 6'0 5/8 combine and 6'0 3/8 at senior bowl. He's definitely a strong 6'0 at low. 6'0.25 prob

Alex 6'0 said on 12/Sep/21
Canson yea, maybe the 5'11.75 was bit off i don't know. Russell Wilson wasn't he measured 5'10 5/8? He's nearer 5'10.25.

Canson said on 7/Sep/21
@Alex: yea 5’11 3/8 probably or maybe even lower. Some guys are over listed. He looks 5’11 tbh (at times)

Alex 6'0 said on 5/Sep/21
Johnny Manziel another shorter qb. Measured 5'11.75 at combine. Article said early morning so he's 5'11.5 if that afternoon. Prob 5'11 3/8

Alex 6'0 said on 1/Sep/21
Canson, yea prob 3/4 inch difference maybe an inch. No more than an inch and thats if Eli is 6'4.25 afternoon on

Canson said on 31/Aug/21
@Alex: that’s probably fair. Eli is about an inch shorter than Peyton. Worst case 2cm

Alex 6'0 said on 28/Aug/21
Look almost identical but Ben looks barely taller by a fraction. 1/2 more maybe

Click Here

Alex 6'0 said on 28/Aug/21
Canson, yea it gets confusing. Seems some guys get measured only an hr outta bed if its that early. An afternoon measurement would definitely be more accurate. Hr outta bed I'm like 6'0.5 but would never be that afternoon to evening. 6'0 1/8 usually most i get afternoon. If Eli 6'4.75 was an hr outta bed then 6'4.25-6'4 3/8 would be most accurate and Ben 6'4.75

Canson said on 24/Aug/21
@Alex: not all Pro Days are. Viper pointed out that some are even earlier than combine measurements. Manning’s is higher. And then Trevor Lawrence’s was in the morning. So was Nick Foles’s. I pointed out to Rob that Foles measured 6’4 5/8 at his Pro Day which is why he reduced him to 6’4 1/2” since he is also shorter than Carson Wentz who was 6’5.25 at his Senior Bowl. His was also morning. Wentz looks 6’5 though. So Foles could be as low as 6’4.25 possibly. Foles’s combine is off. He was not 6’5” just like Aaron Rodgers wasn’t 6’2”. He was 6’1 5/8 at the senior bowl and that was in the morning. Some years senior bowls have been earlier in the day than others. That’s possible 6’4.75 for Ben or 6’4 7/8 and for Eli 6’4.25-.5 range. I think he’s around my height or maybe 1/8” taller. Max 6’4.5 though but then Ben is 6’4 7/8”

Alex 6'0 said on 23/Aug/21
Canson, yea pro day is afternoon i heard? In that case then thats a legit non morning height. Yea ben has a small fraction on Eli. He was 6'4 7/8 measured which is pretty much 6'5. At worst 6'4.75 he'd be. Eli 6'4.5 at most

Canson said on 22/Aug/21
@Alex: he has a 6’5,25 and a 6’5 3/8 at the Pro Day. He could be as low as 6’5 flat but that’s as low as I would put him. He looks every bit of 6’5”. He claimed 6’5 1/2” but not sure he really has one of those measurements on the books. He may just be rounding up to 6’5 1/2 from 6’5 3/8”. But I wouldn’t be surprised at all if 6’5.25 was at or near his low in his prime. He was measured years ago when they may have been a bit later. I would say 6’5 1/8” maybe for a low for him and 6’4 3/8 for Eli. Eli I believe is an early morning since he’s slightly shorter than Roethlisberger. Another thing I noticed was that some of these measurements aren’t always at the combine. Some may be Pro Days that were inserted if they didn’t measure which may be the case with Ben since he generally looks 6’5”. Ben to me is no less than 6’4.75”

Alex 6'0 said on 21/Aug/21
If peyton measured 6'5.25 at combine then wouldn't he he more 6'5 flat?

Canson said on 18/Aug/21
@Alex: I would say maybe Peyton lost a fraction. But not under 6’5”, he’s still at least 1” on Brady

Alex 6'0 said on 16/Aug/21
My first impression definitely sub 5'8 but easily over 5'7. 5'7.5 my best estimate or 5'7 5/8 could be exact

Alex 6'0 said on 15/Aug/21
Canson, at 40 i doubt any height loss but not impossible. I always heard nearer 50 the height loss begins for most people unless like a giant

Alex 6'0 said on 15/Aug/21
Roethlisberger was measured 6'4 7/8 so he's in the 6'4.5-6'4.75 range most the day. Ben and eli look about identical in height but Ben would have a small fraction on him

Alex 6'0 said on 15/Aug/21
Canson, yea ray is from my hometown too. He coaches high school football so ive seen him in person up close quite few times. Is the combine and pro day measured only an hr outta bed? I didn't see a full 5'8. 5'7.5 to maybe 5'7.75. It was in afternoon i seen him everytime.
Most these nfl players will be at least 1/4 less than their measurements

Canson said on 15/Aug/21
@Alex: prob 5’7 5/8 max if an hour out of bed

Canson said on 14/Aug/21
@Alex: you met Rice? That’s believable because they’re typically an hour out of bed or so. I’ve met Vernon Davis and stood next to him. I got an impression of about 1-1.5” but at the time I thought I was 6’4.5” or closer to it. I’ll be 40 in January so it’s possible that I’ve lost a couple mm as I’m almost always measuring 193.6-.7 now a days versus 193.8.-9 like I used to when I first started on CH 6 years ago but not sure if it’s shorter hair or busting a gut etc. Davis looked a legit 6’3” though so maybe he was on his feet for a couple hours before being measured. Ben looks a bit higher. I’d give him 195cm (6’4.75) or just under that as he looks taller than Brady and Eli. Eli looks to be the morning measured person at 6’4.25 or 6’4 3/8 imho. Some measurements that are on the combine side may not be true combine. They may be Pro Day or something else where they measured a bit lower than they would at the combine. Antonio Brown is another. He looks 5’10 or near enough. Maybe 5’9 7/8 and he got 5’10 1/8” at the combine. Ditto JJ Watt or a peak Peyton Manning

Alex 6'0 said on 14/Aug/21
Rob, yes had to be early because he didn't look 5'8 flat in person. 5'7.75 max

Alex 6'0 said on 13/Aug/21
Rob, what was Ray Rices combine or pro day measurement? I seen a site he was measured at 5'8 flat. In person he looked 5'7.5

Alex 6'0 said on 12/Aug/21
Should add Ben Roethlisberger. Measured 6'4 7/8. strong 6'4.5 afternoon to evening

Alex 6'0 said on 8/Aug/21
I met Ray Rice a few times. He's from my town. Not even 5'8. 5'7.5 my estimate

Canson said on 20/Jun/21
@RJT: I agree now that I’ve seen more pics. Peyton at his peak was absolute worst case 196. In fact 6’5.25 seems most likely. Perhaps that is why he got the 6’5 3/8 listing a different time.

Canson said on 14/Feb/21
@Vincent: well said! Your last sentence is the best. I would like to see them do it with uniformity. Either an hour out of bed for everyone and we can assume a range or at a low (after practice) or immediately after waking and we deduct 3/4 or 1”

Canson said on 12/Feb/21
@RJT: I agree for Brady and Eli that those would be about what they’d measure. Not sure on Peyton but I could see 6’5.25 over under 6’5” flat. I could see him getting down to 6’5” flat however

Vincent Caleb said on 12/Feb/21
@Canson:
NBA inflation has been getting even more ridiculous. 6’9” Lebron? It seems everyone is growing by the year. They need to actually measure barefoot. Then we would just have to figure out how much they lose instead of how much they lie.

Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 11/Feb/21
@Vincent plus Peyton is heavier and likely has shorter-looking, stockier proportions

RJT said on 9/Feb/21
@Canson

Imo
Peyton is solid 6'5.25" at least in his prime
Eli is 6'4 3/8"
Brady is 6'4 flat

Vincent Caleb said on 9/Feb/21
@Canson:
Basketball heights are usually more inflated, so that could be the cause.

Canson said on 8/Feb/21
I’m not seeing how the average guess for him is lower than it is for Barkley Jordan and Kobe when he’s taller than all 3. The others (except Kobe if his FIBA measurement is true) all measured under 6’5”. Peyton measured 6’5.25 and 6’5 3/8”. Chances are he’s worst case 6’5 just based on how he looks

Canson said on 2/Feb/21
@Bobby: I could go with 6’5 flat as a worst case but I doubt less. He may have been that. Bledsoe may not have had the full inch. How much height did Bledsoe have on you? Would you have guessed maybe 1.5”? Or less? I could see him being maybe 6’5.5-.75 but I also saw where he measured a solid 6’5”. Also Peyton looks to have about 2cm on Eli. Eli is likely a morning height being she’s shorter than Ben Roethlisberger. I have Eli as 194 as opposed to 195 (he’s likely a hair taller than you and I are being we’re under 194. Eli could even be as low as our height and he was listed 6’4 for most of his career until maybe the last two years

Canson said on 14/Dec/20
@Recapa: those are as great a guesses as any! I agree with you.

For me:

Manning: 6’5-6’5.25 range
Eli: agreed
JJ Watt: agreed
Cam: 6’4.5 maybe up to 6’4.75
Kobe 6’4.75-.8ish (maybe a solid 195 at best)

hey canson what do you think of these guesses 6ft5 1/8 at least for peak manning,6ft4 7/8 now,6ft4 3/8 at best for eli,6ft5 1/4 for jj watt,6ft4.5 for cam newton ,at least 6ft4.75 for kobe.

Canson said on 8/Dec/20
@Vincent: I always had Peyton taller. Peyton looks almost as tall as Draymond green. My low for a peak Manning may have been 6’5 1/8”. But he does look shorter than JJ Watt in the Papa John’s Commercial. Maybe Camera advantage

Are we looking at the same pics? The first pic Peyton has legs spread wider with worse posture and still has an edge, and the next two, Kobe is tilting his head in closer to the camera. There is another in that same shoot where Peyton looks a smidge taller.

6’ 5.25” for Manning. Around an inch taller than Brady which has been proven. Max I’d go is 6’ 5.5” and lowest would be 6’ 5” flat.

Canson said on 4/Nov/20
It’s very hard to see his measurement as a morning measurement

Canson said on 31/Oct/20
@Vincent: I would too but Manning may have lost some height with all of the injuries esp 4 neck surgeries. Of course not anything really noticeable but since they’re close in height it could make a difference. Draymond could be more JJ Watt’s height (Watt measured 6’5 3/8 somewhere not sure if combine or Pro Day and they used it for his combine) although I’m not sure if that’s a low for him. But consensus on Watt is that he can look close to his listing whereas the average guy measuring 6’5 3/8 at the combine would be 6’5” flat in the afternoon. Watt can look around 6’5.25” too. Manning may only be 6’5 flat now

I know Peyton looked similar to Draymond, but if I had to guess one was taller by 1/8, it would be Draymond. He has looked a rock solid 196 cm.

Canson said on 25/Oct/20
@Vincent Celeb: that’s the minimum for him in his prime but I would even lean toward 196 cm being it. 6’5 1/8” perhaps. It wouldn’t surprise me if he maintained 6’5.25” all day

Vincent Caleb said on 23/Oct/20
This listing is ok for lunchtime or shortly before, maybe 6‘5” flat at a low.

Canson said on 21/Oct/20
Dillon Rice said on 20/Oct/20
@Canson: He’s the same height as Draymond Green who’s close to 6’5 himself so definitely a legit 6’5”. By the way, I was wondering how tall you thought Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was? He’s listed 6’5” but he consistently looks shorter than Tom Brady so it doesn’t make sense to me. Never looked that tall.

Click Here

I would put Draymond over 6’5 as opposed to under it. Draymond has as much in Kobe as Peyton does. They looked similar in their pic together too

As for Mike Evans, I doubt he’s shorter than Brady. He looks slightly taller. I would say he’s actually taller but not by more than maybe 1/2” or even a CM. I would put Evans 194 cm range afternoon height (6’4.75 combine early morning)

@Hyper and Dillon: I could give both Peyton and Kobe Their listings here in their prime. Peyton May have dipped under by a hair and is possibly 6’5 flat today though

Hyper said on 14/Oct/20
He actually is taller than Kobe Bryant, going by the top of their heads. He has a low eye level that would fool many people.

Dillon Rice said on 7/Oct/20
@Canson You’re right, Peyton does look a tad bit taller with Magic than Kobe. He only looks about 2-2.5 inches shorter than magic and Kobe more like 2.5-3 inches. Idk why Kobe looks taller in that ESPYs presentation. Maybe he’s standing on a higher part of the stage and the camera angle. Not sure.

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 6/Oct/20
@Dillon
"Edges" would be more of an appropriate term in this case, rather than "towers".

Canson said on 5/Oct/20
@Dillon: Kobe doesn’t tower him. Tower would be how someone like Magic would look next to Kobe. Peyton Manning looks taller with Magic than Kobe did

@Canson the entire ESPYs presentation Kobe towers Manning. There might be a sloping to the stage and it’s not completely flat. Sure looks like it though.

Canson said on 25/May/20
@Dillon: maybe the camera angle. He wasn’t taller than Manning in reality

@Rob Kobe clearly looks taller than Manning. I would bet Kobe is at least as tall if not taller. He’s also a tad taller than Michael Jordan. Yet Jordan and Manning are listed 6’5 plus and Kobe 6’4.75. Also Kobe looks 3 plus inches taller than 6’2.5 Will Farrell. The listings just don’t add up for me.

I would say Manning has him but much like what Duhon said extremely well below, Manning has a large forehead. The difference may very well not be as much as Rob indicates here either. Kobe May be more 6’4.8ish although I doubt higher and Peyton could just be more 6’5 1/8” or even a bit less but not under 6’5”. In reality, it could very well only be 1/4” between them.

Canson said on 11/Feb/20
I bet 6’5 3/4-6’5 7/8 out of bed and his Pro Day was 6’5 3/8 which is why he claimed 6’5.5” once. His afternoon is 6’5 1/8 max In his prime. Odd that some idiot who claims to be 6’5 (who is my height in reality) that I met told me he is 6’6” and he inflates everyone yet a 6’2” colleague of mine who met him said he’s just a good 6’5” in person

Canson said on 7/Nov/19
@Dillon: by 6’3 range for Conan I meant strong 6’3 6’3.25-.5 is possible max 6’3.5. Padalecki would edge him. He looks a legit 6’4 where Conan does not. The lowest afternoon height for Padalecki May be 6’4 flat. But I could see 6’3 7/8 or 6’4 1/8 too. But we would be talking 1/2” or maybe 5/8” difference which is very possible considering he could look slightly taller at one point or very close in height with less footwear. If Padalecki edged him by 1/8 or 1/4” we wouldn’t be able to tell from the video whether it’s the same or that difference and deduct the 3/8 there we are in the 6’3.25.-5. Range

Canson said on 3/Nov/19
Padalecki is a solid 6’4 at a low in all likelihood.

Canson said on 1/Nov/19
@Dillon: Conan is not as tall as Padalecki

Dillon Rice said on 31/Oct/19
@Canson If Conan is 6’3, Padaleski is in the 6’3 range as well.

Canson said on 4/Aug/19
@184guy: I do agree about Barkley’s footwear possibly being altered at times. But he looked 3” taller than rock there not 4”. As far as 6’4” he isn’t the only one who said that. His teammates such as Joe Klein Moses Malone Dan Majerle have also said that. Majerle said “maybe 6’5” once and “maybe 6’5 probably 6’4 later”. That to me means he’s probably 6’4 and change. Then Mo Cheeks and Larry Bird said 6’4/6’5 which sounds more the truth. That’s what he measured in 1992. Dr J also said 6’4/6’5 I believe and Doc was taller in his prime than Barkley by about an inch or so

Dream said on 30/Jul/19
I agree that Peyton edged out Kobe Bryant, going by the top of their heads.

The other times, Kobe has a massive camera advantage over Peyton. Truthfully, Kobe always had a massive camera advantage over Peyton.

184guy2 said on 29/Jul/19
@Christian

Because he generally looks much more of a 6'5er than say a 194guy , but like I said before , at time I suspect he looks a bit taller because of orthopedics shoes like in the pic with The Rock where he looks 4 inches taller . He also looked a good deal taller than some listed 6'4 guys like DDP and Seagal . And like I replied you sometime ago , he downplay himself to 6'4 at times to try to show himself as unique and special , considering that the vast majority of power fowards are 6'7+

Canson said on 28/Jul/19
Kobe measured 6’4.75

Canson said on 28/Jul/19
@184guy: I doubt Barkley wasn’t standing his tallest. The 6’4 5/8” is probably him standing his tallest as he’s often described as 6’4” or seen as 6’4 in person

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 26/Jul/19
@184guy
Why wouldn't Barkley stand at his tallest? If anything, there's a better chance of him "Busting a Gut" than slouching. Taller height is generally seen as a positive in basketball.

184guy2 said on 25/Jul/19
@Junior

Joe at 6'4.5 puts Alexander Skaasgard at 6'3.75-6'4 . The same goes to Michael Strahan , Tyler Perry , Armie Hammer. Jeff Goldblum wouldn't also be over 6'3 . Guys like Jared would be 100% under 6'4 and a 2019 Ralf Moeller under 6'5 . Go check the video from instagram that I sent at Joe's page . He and Ralf Moeller looked pretty similar with the same footwear . I was a bit surprised with that video because I was expecting Ralf being visible taller .

IMO

Joe Manganiello 6'4.75
Kobe Bryant 6'4.88
Peyton Manning 6'5.13
Conan (Peak) 6'3.75
Chris Hemsworth 6'2.88
Barkley (Peak) 6'5 ( I can believe in the '4 5/8 measurement but I don't think it was a standing tall instance ) . *The odd numbers are just fractions to cover up ranges

Canson said on 24/Jul/19
@Junior: for Joe maybe 6’4.5 or a mm or so under. Conan 191-191.5 range and Kobe 195 is my guess. Kobe looks weak 6’5 next to rick fox or MWP

Canson said on 24/Jul/19
@Junior: Kobe measures 6’4.75 tho not a full 6’5”. Means that the other guys are a bit less. Conan looks really just 6’3.25. Maybe Joe is only a full 194 but prob not less. They look 191 194 195 imho

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 22/Jul/19
@Canson Just directly pointed Joe at 6'4 1/2 its easier and Conan really is not over 1" shorter which is 6'3 1/2 so Kobe does have max 1.5" on Conan that meaningful enough that Kobe is 6'5. We can point out that maybe Kobe had wear 1/4-3/8 inch orthotics once in awhile that is why he pushes 6'5 1/4 in comparison with Morgan Freeman who still look 187cm and look to be merely same height as Peyton and edge out Conan by close to 1.5". If soon Rob going to agree Conan being 6'3.25" then i would have believe it and agree your estimate. Kobe Bryant is nothing under 195cm and Joe Manganiello is not under 194cm. Although Conan look 1" on legit 190cm Chris Hemsworth but i suspect he wear thicker footwear that really give 1.5" compare to Chris, i can see how 6'3 1/2 work for Conan bare in mind 6'3 1/2 is under 192cm by 1/8 so isn't impossible for high side for him you should considered thinking that also Conan posture wasn't that good all the time.

Canson said on 17/Jul/19
@Junior: I would give Joe 6’4.5 at a low and Conan 6’3.25. Kobe has Conan by 1.5”. But I’ve never seen a pic of Kobe and Joe. Rob said Joe looked 6’4.5-6’5 midday and Max a poster met him and said it was around an inch with him and Max is 6’5.5. Means Joe is 6’4 3/8-5/8 range most likely

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 16/Jul/19
@Canson You had Conan by 6'3.25" so Joe is 6'4.25" not 6'4.5" and Kobe edge Joe by 0.5" then.

Canson said on 4/Jul/19
@Junior: Kobe has Conan by about 1.25-1.5” but that’s because Conan is not as tall as he’s listed or claims. He’s 6’3.25ish Kobe 6’4.75. Joe M is probably 6’4.5ish

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 3/Jul/19
@184guy2 Joe Manganiello had Conan O'Brien by 1" on his show, Kobe had Conan between 1.25-1.5" on his show. Joe can not compete with Kobe. Kobe real height is a myth whether he is 6'5 or fraction below but Joe had footwear advantage over Rob and is just described by Rob that Joe is closer to 6'4.75 can be anything 1/8 or 1/4 below. Peyton Manning height for sure he isn't 6'5.25" at a low side, to be fair that Kobe and Peyton can edge out each other from multiple photo different camera angle so bigger chance they could be the same height.

184guy2 said on 28/Jun/19

Angles and stances...
Troughout all the event , Peyton looked a tad taller . There is even a video where his head curvature comes out a bit taller than Kobe's . I would like to see Kobe and Joe Manganiello together one day , considering that both looked within half inch of Peyton

Rob can you please upgrade Peyton’s height to 6’ 5 1/2”? Sure he was measured 6’ 5 1/4”, but I think he grew a little bit based on these photos. Here he is with 6’ 4 1/2-5 Joe Manganiello Click Here he looks at least 3/4 of an inch on him doesn’t he? Plus look at this photo with his brother who I think is a 6’ 4” and something guy Click Here. He looks at least an inch taller there. Plus look at him with 6’ 3 1/4” Dan Marino Click Here. He looks 2.5 inches taller than him. Just look at him with 6’ 3” Derek Jeter Click Here. At least 2.5 inches taller than him too. Also look at him with 6’ 4 1/4” Tom Brady Click Here. He looks 1.25 inches taller than him doesn’t he Rob? Here he is with Kobe who I think is a strong 6’ 5” maybe 6’ 5 1/4” (I don’t want to disparage Kobe’s wife but most people don’t know how to 100% accurately measure people plus the average guess on Kobe’s page is 6 ft 5.14 in) anyway here’s the picture with Manning Click Here. He also looks 6’ 5 1/2” there compare to Kobe doesn’t he Rob? Here he is with Draymond Green, who Steve Kerr said was 6’ 5” Click Here. Based on the head height, I would actually say Manning is a bit taller than him. Last three photos I want to show you Rob first photo with J. J. Watt Click Here. Watt is supposed to be 6’ 5 3/8” but doesn’t Manning look taller than him? Second to last photo is with Michael Strahan Click Here. Strahan is supposed to be 6’ 4 1/4” and Manning looks at LEAST 6’ 5 1/2” there if not a little more. Last photo I have to show here is with him with Kevin Durant, who I think is 6’ 10” range at least Click Here. When he’s with big guys, he always looks over 6’ 5”. Rob, would you again please consider changing his height to 6’ 5 1/2” based on the evidence I have just showed you?

@Ian555: if Kobe measured later in the day then that is in fact his true height for site purposes. Your evening and afternoon heights don’t really vary. It’s more that many of the other celebs here are listed a bit taller than they would be at a low

Ian555 said on 16/Feb/19
Weird I always thought Manning was a least 6’ 5 1/2” in and the NFL was rounding down his height to 6’ 5”. He always looks an inch taller than his brother Eli at least like in these photos Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. The last photo looks more like an inch an a half difference, and I think Eli’s 6’ 4.75” measurement was taken earlier in the day I think he’s in the 6’ 4.25” range. Plus in photos with Kobe, who I think is a strong 6’ 5” maybe 6’ 5 1/4” (anything under 6’ 5” for Kobe seems ridiculous to me even though his wife measured him, I think it was most likely later in the day and was taller than 6’ 4 1/4” Michael Strahan by at least an inch), he looks a little taller than him, by maybe 1/4 of an inch Click Here, Click Here. Lastly, these photos with Tom Brady, who was measured 6’ 4 1/4” at the combine, he looks 6’ 5 1/2” with him Click Here, Click Here.
Rob do you think the 6’ 5 1/4” measurement was taken later in the day Manning doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would lie about his height.

There are picture Kobe taller and there are picture Peyton taller but through out the video look more accurate for comparison Click Here Kobe look taller easily by get a bit of advantage nearer to camera but look to be Kobe having a higher shoulder than Peyton. I still think both were 6'5.

I agree with Rob, Peyton seems to have a long head even for someone his height.

Dream(5'9.5") said on 24/Nov/18
The more I look at the pictures of Peyton Manning and Kobe Bryant, the more I believe Peyton looks taller than Kobe. The top of Peyton’s head is higher than the top of Kobe’s head. Peyton’s hair adds little, like a few mm’s.

Kobe also happens to have a ‘massive’ camera advantage, while Peyton is loose in posture. Actually, there are a few times where Peyton was roughly eye to eye with Kobe, even with Kobe having a massive camera advantage.

Canson said on 8/Oct/18
@Dream: not completely sure about Peyton but I will say he likely didnt measure below 6’5” at his peak. I’m only unsure due to the disparity between morning and evening heights. If he measured 6’5.25, it’s possible he could only be 6’4.75ish at a low. However, his Pro Day was similar to his combine. I believe he was 6’5 3/8. I’m not sure how early the players were measured back in 1998 but Manning, nonetheless, genuinely looked at least a full 6’5 peak. Today, he may be a bit less however

Dream(5'9.5") said on 2/Oct/18
@Canson At peak, Peyton Manning would be the same as Bo Burnham. Both 6’5.25” guys and both don’t really look less than 6’5” (peak, of course).

Canson said on 28/Sep/18
@Chad: If he measured that in the morning, then how would that be his afternoon height? Most athletes measure in the morning and if JJ watt is noticeably taller than him then it means Manning isn’t 6’5.25. If Manning measured 6’5.25, he wouldn’t be a little over. the real question is would he be under that later in the day? Celebheights is based on afternoon heights.

@Dream: I’m torn. Maybe a peak Manning was that but I still say he’s 6’5 at a low and 6’5.75 out of bed

Dream(5'9.5") said on 27/Sep/18
@Chad

Agreed. I mean, a peak Peyton looked an easy 6’5”. It’s his large forehead that gives him a shorter impression. However, Peyton still looks 6’5” today. He edged out Kobe Bryant, Cam Newton, and even Usian Bolt (though the last guy could be slightly overlisted).

Yeah, after seeing all videos and clips of Manning and Bryant, I would put Peyton as being slightly taller than Kobe. Manning had loose posture and Bryant had a massive camera advantage.

Chad Clement said on 26/Sep/18
The obsession with people wanting to downgrade Peyton Mannings height is ridiculous. The man was measured 6'5 1/4" and is this height if not a little over that mark.

Canson said on 25/Sep/18
@mickie: manning prob would edge him by a cm maybe

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 24/Sep/18
I don't know about today, but I doubt he was any shorter than 6'5" peak.

Dream(5'9.5") said on 23/Sep/18
@Mickie

True. Also, Kobe Bryant is in favor of the camera angles. Peyton still looks barely taller than Kobe.

Mickie said on 22/Sep/18
There are also photos where Manning is slightly taller than Bryant. I tend to think that's more accurate.

Dream(5'9.5") said on 20/Sep/18
@Canson @Junior

Now that you mentioned it, yeah. It’s possible that Manning was 6’5” flat, but when measured, he would measure taller than he looks. In @Junior’s case, there are times Kobe Bryant definitely looks taller, though that might be more in favor of the camera, but still.

Peyton did look taller than Cam Newton though.

Off-topic: I’m starting to think that Bo Burnham ‘may’ likely edge out Peyton Manning. That’s just my opinion though. In Owen Benjamin’s page, a user has claimed to have seen the picture of Bo and Owen. According to the user, Owen apparently ‘commented’ that Bo was taller than him (Owen). I’m not sure where the picture is. However, I still need to see it, myself. Peyton Manning’s listing is maybe legit, but Bo Burnham’s 6’5.25” listing is one of the best listings ever, probably 6’5.25” at a low for Big Bo.

@Dream: Brad guessed him 6’5.5 but Brad also had Jordan 6’5 when Jordan is 6’4.5 (brad later acknowledged Jordan being weak 6’5). Brad also classed himself 6’6” but is really 6’5.5 which leads me to believe Manning is probably a solid 6’5” or 196 max. His combine and Pro Day measurements were very close 6’5 3/8 and 6’5.25 which leads me to believe he likely is around 6’5” at a low. Maybe they measured later in the day back when he was drafted

Canson said on 16/Sep/18
@Junior: I wonder if the combine was held that early back when he was drafted. My guess is it was, is that Manning could be 6’4 7/8 at a low perhaps. My guess though is that he was 6’5” peak. He actually could, at times, look 6’5.25. It’s funny. I know two people who have met him. One of which is 6’2.25 by his own admission (actually is in person) and claimed Manning is a weak 6’5 maybe a full 6’5” tops. The other claimed he’s 6’6” but it’s hard to take him seriously because he also claims 6’5” flat is what he measured when there is no way possible he would measure that at a Dr’s office (I get 6’4.75 an hour out of bed). and he’s not any taller than me (we stood back to back) and I actually thought I was but at best we’re the same exact height. I couldn’t tell but I may have been taller. I believe that’s his shoe height and he’s 6’4” really. Or my size. He also called a guy who is between 6’5-6’6 6’8” one time. He inflated everyone’s height so I don’t take him seriously. And when someone “appears” 1” taller it may mean 3/4” so it’s feasible Manning is 6’5” flat really

Dream(5'9.5") said on 13/Sep/18
@Junior

Peyton did have multiple neck surgeries, which he could’ve lost height from.

Really, Peyton Manning did look taller than Kobe Bryant (going by the top of their heads). Keep in mind, Peyton was loose in his stance more so than Kobe.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 10/Sep/18
@Canson I don't think Peyton ever lost height. I think its the morning he gets the 196cm height and always a strong 195cm guy just like Kobe.

@Junior: unless his 6’5.25 was early AM then that’s possible. I saw he measured 6’5 3/8 once too. He claimed 6’5.5. Brad met him and Gave him 6’5.5 but Brad also has claimed 6’5 and 6’6 so while I do respect Brad I can’t give that full weight. Brad also said now that he is 6’5.5 at a low so likely Peyton is 6’5 flat tops but that figure makes sense for a low. I couldn’t see him less than that at his peak and at times 6’5.25 or 6’5 1/8 make sense

Canson said on 6/Sep/18
@Junior: I recall Peyton having 6’5.25 and 6’5 3/8 measurements. I wouldn’t say he’s less than 6’5” flat unless he has lost height from the neck surgeries. A peak Manning imho was 6’5” flat worst case.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 5/Sep/18
I mean Peyton a low at 6'4.75" or 6'4 7/8.

@Junior Hernandez 1990
I don't think so ...
Peyton head is much larger and his eyelevel very short . Kobe is totally oposite , small head , high eyelevel so he looks much more taller . And Peyton shoulders are even shorter ,but when you put the fact of the matter and look the top of their heads ...

Canson said on 3/Sep/18
@Junior: it’s the camera angles most likely. I would put Kobe a bit shorter or at worst Manning may only be 195 cm today but I would say he’s still a full 6’5”

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 3/Sep/18
@Dream(5'9.5 That clip between Peyton and Kobe its hard to deceived who is really taller due to the cameraman kind of shaking filming the video. Majority Kobe look a bit taller. Peyton was measure in the morning 6'5.25" have came down a low 6'5.75" or max 6'5 7/8. Kobe had a more chance to be 6'5 than Peyton Mannning while compare to other celebrities.

Canson said on 27/Aug/18
@184guy: I think Ibra could be more 194 while Peyton may still be a solid 6’5” today. I know Rob mentioned for Ibra that his measurement was 194 and 194.5. 194 may be his low. But Manning oddly looks shorter than JJ Watt who measured 6’5 3/8 in the AM

184guy2 said on 23/Aug/18
A "normal" sized Peyton should be the same as Zlatan .

Considering this , there is no way Peyton is 195cm flat today , he's still in the 6'5 range

And well ... not much different than Joe Manganiello

S#@!, I apologize Rob. Here's the shot of Peyton and Kimmel.

Click Here

I see what you mean by sloping shoulders. Jeez, I'm slipping today.

Dream(5'9.5 said on 16/Aug/18
Rob, there’s something off about this picture 🤔🤔🤔

Click Here

Why does Peyton Manning’s shoulders look nearly the same as Jimmy Kimmel here?



Here’s another comparison.

Click Here

Bo Burnham’s shoulders look much higher than Jimmy Kimmel, but him and Peyton Manning look the same when comparing them with Jimmy Kimmel. The difference in shoulder length is strange.



Could it be the pictures Kimmel takes just to make himself look taller? What do you think Rob? I’m not buying the picture with Peyton Manning.

184guy2 said on 11/Aug/18
Peyton head looks to be at least 2cm bigger than Kobe , that's why he looks shorter , but I believe is kind obvious who's the taller guy . But not by much ..

Dream(5'9.5 said on 5/Aug/18
@Canson @Rob



Actually, it's arguable that Peyton looked barely taller than Kobe Bryant. Look at 5:45 in this video:

Click Here


Look very closely with the top of their heads. Also, Peyton's posture is more loose than Kobe is.


The eye level is deceiving, but it's there.

Canson said on 14/Jul/18
@Norman: Megatron is 6’4 range. His 6’5 flat was early AM as are the other players but he looks too tall to be 6’3. Worst case maybe he’s something like 6’4 3/8 if his variance from when he took it is that steep otherwise 6’4.5 or 6’4 5/8 at a low

Norman said on 9/Jul/18
@Rob you should have Calvin Johnson listed on here one of the greatest, he's listed at 6'5" but I don't believe he's that tall, looks consistently shorter than 6'7" listed guys and about the same height of fellow NFL Rob Sims who he is 6'3"

Canson said on 8/Jul/18
@Dream: Watt looks a legit 196er imho. So he could be very close to it.

Dream(5'9.5") said on 30/Jun/18
@Canson Watt is definitely one of the few guys who is very close to his 'combine' height. He didn't look much different with Kevin Durant!

Canson said on 24/Jun/18
@Dream: yea if the surgery impacted him he may have been 6’5.25 at a low in his prime. He never looked less than 6’5” but maybe today he’s a full 6’5. The funny thing is he looks shorter than JJ Watt. I would say that Watt would measure close to his combine height maybe 1/8” or 1/4” less max. He doesn’t look less than 196 and can look 6’5 1/2 at times

Dream(5'9.5") said on 21/Jun/18
Actually, the more I look at it, the more I could see Peyton looking a bit taller than Kobe Bryant.

The problem is their eye-level, not to mention Peyton has a large forehead and a low eye level.

Peyton did look a bit taller when looking at the top of their heads, but he did have his surgeries.

Canson said on 20/May/18
@lukx: I would’ve thought Manning was legit but it may have been a measurement earlier in the day and maybe he gets to 6’5 or got to 6’5 peak. However he’s had extensive surgeries in the form of fusions on his neck and more than once. Imho he could only be 195ish today after all he’s been through

lukx said on 13/May/18
Peyton Manning looked consistently as tall as Kobe Bryant and Kobe is been measured at 6’4.1/4”

Canson said on 28/Apr/18
@Mayfield: I could see Peyton being around what Rob has him listed at a low in his peak. I remember seeing one measurement at 6’5 3/8 and then this measurement of 6’5 1/4”. I think he would likely be no lower than maybe 196cm at his peak but could’ve lost height today due to all of the surgeries he’s had on his neck. Today he often looks under 6’5” especially with guys like Kobe or Draymond Green. Green next to Peyton and Kobe looks about 6’5-6’5.25 whereas the others look 195cm or thereabouts. Green was a morning measurement and could’ve even been 6’5 5/8 or a mm above 1/2” and been rounded up in the AM. I know his coaches have said he’s only 6’5 as opposed to almost 6’6”

Mayfield said on 2/Mar/18
Rob, I don't know if you would consider him to be worthy of having a page considering his reputation, but Ryan Leaf, the quarterback who was drafted right after Manning and became one of the biggest draft busts ever. He was also listed at 6'5 and he does indeed look identical to Peyton, firmly in the 6'5 range.

Click Here

There's a quote by one of his college mates who refers to him as 6'5

Click Here

Canson said on 4/Feb/18
@Junior: today I can’t see over 6’5” for Peyton. But doubt he’s that far under. Maybe what you said as that puts JJ Watt about 1cm above him. You’re pretty good at estimates tho I will say. Peyton looks similar to Kobe to be honest. I can’t see much diff with them

Junior Hernandez said on 4/Feb/18
@Canson I think 6'4 7/8 would be absolutely low for Peyton. More chance he could hold 6'5 most of the day.

Canson said on 20/Jan/18
@Bobby: I’ve noticed a lot of the nfl combine heights of players I’ve seen look pretty close. I’ve stood next to Vernon Davis before and he’s def a legit 6’3. Combine was 6’3.25 but that could be morning. I saw that 06 was. He is prob anywhere from 1-1.5” less than we are in person. I have a 6’3 buddy that’s 190.3-.4 at night and he looked exactly how he did next to me. So maybe Davis dips to 6’3 or 6’2 7/8 but he gave off a legit 6’3 impression so I can’t see him below 190.5ish afternoon. I’ve also met Terrell Suggs and he looked about an inch shorter than us so while his reads 603 3/8 i can say he’s prob somewhere around that like 6’3.25 perhaps. I didn’t pay attention to shoes I don’t think tho with him. Can’t remember but he’s prob close to what he measured imho. Same with Jared Gaither stood right next to my 6’7 friend and is listed 6’8 5/8 but he looked closer to 6’8” imho looked about an inch or so taller imho. strong 6’8 is more like it for him at best

Canson said on 18/Jan/18
@Bobby: Looks about half inch or 2cm less than Bledsoe. Brady can look 1.5 shorter possibly. Bledsoe is prob close with Gronk. Maybe 197 Gronk 197.5. Peyton may just be solid 6’5 at a normal low and not 6’5.25

Canson said on 17/Jan/18
@Bobby: I think Bledsoe is 197cm range and closer to 6’6 albeit a weak 6’6” or worst 6’5.5

Intevel said on 8/Jan/18
Rob do you have a height for Wayne Gretzky and Paulina Gretzky?

Canson said on 4/Jan/18
I think this may be a low at a peak for him. If not 196 maybe. His pro day was supposedly about the same. I can see loss today tho as he probably did after surgeries he had. He doesn’t look taller than Kobe or as tall as draymond or JJ watt who are only 196-196.5 themselves

Big Jorge said on 3/Jan/18
Hey Rob,

I think maybe you should add Sidney Crosby to this website. He’s a tough one to gauge, listed 5’11 sometimes and sometimes 5’10. Thinking he could be high 5’9s as hockey tends to add an inch or so. Curious what you think.

Canson said on 21/Jul/17
@Phil: agree with what you said.

I went off his draft measurements 6'5.25 and 3/8 I think so probably rounded up.

Canson said on 16/Jun/17
Not so sure SJH. To me Peyton looks taller than Draymond. Draymond is slouching tho a bit so it's hard to tell. Peyton has such a large forehead. I agree with your logic but for Peyton he had I believe 6'5 3/8 for one and 6'5.25 for the other. He mentioned before he's 6'5 1/2. But my assessment is that at peak he was maybe as tall as Christian is or a hair shorter 6'5 1/8 or 1/4" and just happened to be measured a little later on in the day maybe because he looks an inch taller than Brady does. Now he may have lost height too with the neck surgeries and only be 6'5 or a hair under today at night. The comparison with Kobe was no good as is the norm with many pictures here on celebeheights. Unless you're standing in front of both Peyton could be 6'5 Kobe 6'4.75 and still love could easily pass for being taller if only even a slight difference in the place they're standing. The funniest pics I see are the ones where people swear Barkley is taller than he is or Kobe or Howard Stern and the ones where people make Conan 6'4" or even others. Draymond I agree with but think 6'5-6'5.25 tops. Durant looks about 4-5" taller closer to 4 than 5. And Durant contrary to people wanting to make him taller is nothing more than a strong 6'9 barefoot at most 6'9.5. Maybe 6'9.25 even as he's not as tall as Deandre Jordan it can look 1/4 or 1/2" and that is assuming jordans lowest is 6'9.75 he may drop a hair too tbh or have been given a small fraction if he's say 6'9.55 they wouldn't round him down. I highly doubt anyone measures exact number they are mostly rounded up. None of us measure exact either I doubt to a T every time

@Canson

The difference between Draymond Green and Peyton Manning look exactly like how Kobe stand next to Draymond Green. Like i say before the draft measurement kick off a cm should be those players real height at lowest from draft camp measurement. Not accounting hair Peyton only look half inch shorter than Draymond. Kobe and Peyton both easily clear 6'5 in the morning and stuck at a big 195cm range and Draymond is closer to 6'5.5 like strong 6'5.25

Canson said on 12/Jun/17
If he measured near or at 6'5.5 like he claims at some point he must be 6'5 7/8 or 6'6" out of bed at his peak and 6'5.25 a time his lowest.Today tho he doesn't look over 6'5" flat

Steve Kerr and Alvin gentry weren't lying about draymond however. I'd imagine draymond has footwear on manning but don't know. And he's slouching but a 6'5" manning puts green around the same either way. He's surely not 197cm

Canson said on 1/Apr/17
@Christian: I don't believe Peyton was as tall as you are and today for sure not

Canson said on 31/Mar/17
@Christian: yes he could be. I heard he measured 6'5 3/8 at pro day as well. His could've been accurate. But you're right I usually knock about 1/4" off since they're generally 2 hrs out of bed. Some are a bit loaded like 3/8 tho. I'll split it and say I believe Peyton's is 196cm flat maybe

Christian-196.2cm (6ft5.25) said on 30/Mar/17
Canson, you say that NFL measurements are done earlier in the day. So if Peyton was measured 6'5 1/4", shouldn't he be a bit shorter than that at his lowest, like 6'5 1/8" or 6'5" flat?

Canson said on 28/Mar/17
@SJH: I can believe watt is a strong 6'5". Now 6'5 3/8 would be earlier but I believ maybe 1/4 under more specifically 196cm flat 6'5.16. I don't think he's really much taller than Peyton is tho. He's favored by the camera like Barkley is in pics being bigger. Now he does look maybe 1/4" or cm taller and his hair sticks up. I'd say Peyton is no worse than Kobe's height 6'4.75 and no more than 6'5 today. People have said he's 6'5 1/2" which he never was at his lowest. They say it to make others taller. Peyton may have been 2cm taller than eli prime which makes him more 196cm flat and Eli about my height 194cm

S.J.H said on 23/Mar/17
@Canson

I not so sure about J.J. Watt. Most of time Watt doesn't look over 6'5 also can look taller or same height as peyton. We don't know if put kobe and peyton them both barefoot they might just hit the same height at 6'4.75

Click Here joe manganiello is only 1cm shorter than peyton without cap

Canson said on 20/Mar/17
@S.J.H: I doubt that was morning I think Peyton actually was over 6'5" by a hair prime. Today I believe he would edge out Kobe or at worst he identical in height with him. You are right tho he did have neck surgeries four to be exact. He looks about 1/4-1/2" shorter than JJ Watt. My guess for Watt is he is 6'5.25 evening or at worst 196cm flat. Which makes Peyton 195 range maybe just under 6'5" at his lowest where as Kobe I can see dipping under 195 by a hair or two

Borats Chicken said on 20/Mar/17
rob, with the neck surgery and hits he took, how low would he be? 6'4.75?

S.J.H said on 19/Mar/17
I atually think manning is just small fraction shorter than kobe bryant. Heard he had some injury on his neck or back might had took off few mm away and if i'm not wrong 6'5.25 was just a morning measurement like every others NFL players and he might just always came down 6'4.75 low. 194.5cm at his low nowadays.

Canson said on 6/Mar/17
@Nick: he isn't shorter than kobe is. In some pics he edges him out. People keep referring to the pic where Kobe is in front of him so the camera angle makes him appear taller. In another pic manning is taller than Kobe is. Manning is still no worse than 195cm and likely a full 6'5" or 6'4 7/8 next to JJ Watt. Watt edged him by maybe 1/4" or 1cm in the papa johns commercial but has thicker hair than Manning does as well (it appeared more like 1/2" but doubt it's really that high).

Nick said on 5/Mar/17
hes shorter than Kobe Bryant so I just can't be 196cm he's around 193cm

Canson said on 25/Feb/17
Agree with Shiva but more like 6'6 out of bed prime 6'5.25 at his lowest today 6'5.75/6'5.6 out of bed 6'4 7/8-6'5 at his lowest. He's a cm shorter than JJ watt 6'5 3/8 combine so 6'5.25 before bed for him max

shiva181cms said on 25/Feb/17
Peyton manning's height is

Out of bed 6'6

Before bed 6'5

By the way his body type is not much suitable for a quarter back
