"Editor Rob
Slightly off-topic but grass shots really can be tricky at times.
Click Here - see how 2 inches can be lost quite easily between the challenger sisters."
Very well said, Rob. That's what I've tried to say more than once, but of course I got accused of "making excuses" by certain funny people on here... I always take with a grain of salt outside pictures, especially grass shots because sometimes the ground can be uneven, without it being that evident.

Very strange the clip ....
He for sure isn't that tall
He looked shorter than Armie Hammer when Hammaer was barefoot and him in 1in Nike sneaker

What do you think guys. 6-2.4 where we know he was barefoot versus 6-4.5 where we know he's in large footwear.
Footwear does not count on this site

Rob, I just can't believe you can't see that it's obvious he didn't grow 1.5 inches in a few months from his 6-3 listing from sophomore to junior year.

You have never been more wrong Andrea. A real 6-4 guy has over 2 inches on 6-2 measured pro day Merriman
The reason I would bet all the money in the world is that I've seen him up close and you haven't. :)

The combine figure is erroneous. He was measured 6-2 at his pro day. Don't think the hospital worker is making it up, but he's in gigantic footwear plus being off herself.

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 19/Jul/18
@Andrea
That was because I didn't find pics of Shawne looking 6'5" at the time when I made that comment. I only found pics after that comment was posted. And just because Shawne may look 6'3.5" range in more pics than he looks 6'2.5", doesn't mean that 6'2.5" isn't a possibility. Look at Pamela Anderson and David Morrissey who were listed about an inch taller than what they are listed now with Pamela from 5'6" to 5'5" and David from either 6'3" or 6'2.75" (can't remeber which) to 6'2". These two looked 5'6" and 6'3" more often than they did 5'5" and 6'2" in pics, but it turned out that they're the latter heights when Rob met them. Guessing a celeb's height sometimes isn't as simple as it seems.
And I don't consider Viper and Canson's friend meeting Shawne and guessing him at 6'2" as evidence that he's 6'2" any more than I consider the two Twitter guys meeting Shawne and guessing him at 6'4" as evidence that he's 6'4". Both are anecdotes. Like I said, I estimate Shawne to be 6'2.5" and not 6'2" or 6'4", which goes to show you that I don't base my guesses on someone meeting a celeb. I only said that Viper and Canson's friend are probably more likely to be more accurate than the two Twitter guys because Viper's a long time CH visitor and has experience about heights and Canson's friend is honest about his height and doesn't inflate, while the two Twitter guys aren't CH visitors and I don't know whether they inflate their heights or not, and I'm more inclined that they might do since a lot of people do it to a degree. If it was the other way around (Canson's friend and Viper guessing Shawne at 6'4" and the two Twitter guys guessing him at 6'2"), I would still be inclined to believe that the former two would be more accurate with their assessments.

"Unfortunately, since we can't see Shawne's feet, it is hardly conclusive, but that's just more proof that something like 6'2-6'3 is very unlikely for him,"
This sentence makes no sense. Since we cant see his feet its more proof hes not that?

Excuse me, 5-11 Fabolous is in the middle. Merriman doesnt look taller than 6'2 next to him.
I would have guessed Fabolous at 5'10 there with the way he looks physically

Rising - 174 cm said on 19/Jul/18
@Canson and viper: Yeah, Melo does pretty much tower over Merriman and along with your sighting, Canson, we also know Melo was measured 6'6.25" and Rob lists him that so almost everyone can agree on him. The Fabolous pic is surprising because he really doesn't look anything over 6'2" there and all things being equal, I'd actually say he appears slightly less, such as 187 cm range unless Fabolous is 181. Maybe Fabolous has a slight ground advantage, but that's nowhere near 5.5". I don't know, I am somewhat wary of these measurements since we've had cases like Gordan Ramsey or even Van Damme. Maybe some of this is posture as Rob said, but Merriman doesn't look anywhere near 6'4.5" in quite a few of these pics so assuming the measurement was legit, I'd guess he had shoes.
@Andrea: Walker also didn't look much taller than Freddie Prinze(claims 6' and Rob now lists him 6'0") so he can look his claim, though I think he might be around 6'1.5" as well. Point being, guesses did drop quite a bit after his 6'1" claim was found so sometimes a guess that seems off can be vindicated. I think anyone who has posted here long enough will have at least a few guesses that seem ridiculous in hindsight. I just don't think arguing about who is credible or not will settle much. More interesting is for both you and viper to keep posting evidence to support your sides and one thing I definitely agree with is Merriman is all over the place in height. Much more than you'd think an athlete would be.

Well Rob Banned Viper at one point in time and now likely has better controls in place to ensure that it won’t happen so it is really a moot point to continue bringing up the “Viper uses multiple usernames and multiples Ip’s”. Average guesses have likely been submitted since he was Banned and since he’s been back and I’m sure that Viper is not the only one who has voted 47 times??? At least I would hope not. The only thing Rob did by mentioning that was give people already full of excuses more of them to use

@Rob: to be fair the pic that Viper posted with Carmelo Anthony, Merriman is not dropping that much height (if any). He likely is not as tall as he’s said to be. A 6’6” Melo would make him 6’2”

@Rob: the link that Andrea provided today (19 July), I actually provided you on 13 July. However, if you’re going to add that tidbit about that, then it’s also fair to add that Merriman said in the same post (which I pointed out), that he “did not have his 3 pairs of socks on” like he did at the Combine. And to be fair, he is not dropping any height in this picture with Fabulous that Viper posted or with shawne kemp in the previous picture he posted. And his posture was fine in other pics where he looked 6’2”. I don’t wanna accuse him of wearing lifts etc but something has to give because it would mean that Stephen Jackson and Carmelo are 6’8” barefoot and others taller than listed if he’s really 6’4”. At this stage there is just as much evidence that he is only 6’2” as there is 6’4”. Viper has actually done a great job with his pics in this case and probably has debunked the myth

He does look well over 6'1 with Carmelo, but certainly nothing over 6'3, IF Carmelo is just over 6'6. Actually, Carmelo looks noticeably taller than that Breazeale boxer next to Shawne...
But again, we can't see the footwear. Shawne certainly isn't in big shoes at that event with Carmelo: Click Here

I agree, Rob. The thing is that 6'4.5 measurement is very consistent with that other 6'4 3/8 alleged one, so I have no reason to believe that it's a mistake, or that it was even made up. That's what you could expect from people like Sly or Vin Diesel, but I highly doubt that's Shawne's case. He actually seems to genuinely believe to be 6'5 in the clip... That being said, I still wouldn't give him anything more than 6'4.

Editor RobOne thing - it's not entirely clear if he was in socks, but whilst there's always a possibility of an erroneous reading by the woman, it does seem that he was near the combine figure.

I know I'd take my sneakers off for a measurement, but others might happily keep them on.

To be fair, Rising, a 6'1 Paul Walker isn't that hard to believe, and although I haven't seen that much of him, I agree that he probably was a lot closer to that than 6'2 (let alone 6'3), considering that not only he supposedly claimed that mark, but he also didn't look much different than Joshua Jackson, who I think is more of a weak 6'1, in that movie they did together. That being said, viper has given too many delusional and crazy estimates throughout these years, so I really can't take him seriously.
As for Shawne, I have hard time to believe he's as low as 6'2 range for the simple fact that, if you look at the older posts, he does look noticeably taller than every single athlete who was measured in that range, other than looking comfortably taller than every single athlete who was measured in 6'3-6'3.5 as well... And I wouldn't give that much importance to the Average Guess, especially in this case, considering that it's been proven that the same viper rigged it by submitting several 6'2 "guesses" with different IPs and names, in order to make it as low as possible. I would bet money that at least 80%-90% of the votes come from him...

Rob, you may want to add this to the top: Click Here
Unfortunately, since we can't see Shawne's feet, it is hardly conclusive, but that's just more proof that something like 6'2-6'3 is very unlikely for him, considering that there's no way a 6'2-6'3 guy can get measured at 6'4.5, even in shoes, unless it's a fake measurement and Shawne kinda bribed the doctor to say that (which I'm sure is very possible in viper's mind 😂)...

Editor RobI'll slip it in, I think he is a guy who drops height an awful lot in photos. If you just search his hashtag on instagram, he towers a fair amount of average folk.
As for the clip, unless the woman was willing to lie on camera, something I doubt, or somehow mistook 6ft 2.5 for 4.5, then we have to say he was measured that moment over 6ft 4.

@Rising and Christian: so the picture with Melo That Viper posted almost confirms that what Viper said and my buddy is accurate. I’ve met Melo in person and he is 6’6”. Maybe Merriman is disadvantaged somehow but not 3” lol.

Even before I realized it was fabolous I thought Merriman just looked 6-0 physically. Click Here
What are the chances he wears small lifts. It would explain that doctor measurement, his height all over the place at times.
6-4 Tom Brady looks nowhere near that short in stature. Nowhere near. Hell most 6-2 guys don't. I don't look that short physicaly in any picture like that

@Andrea: that’s very true that you can’t prove that my friend or Viper has Met Merriman. At the same time, who is to say that the people on Twitter actually met him? Just because they have a pic with him doesn’t mean that is them. Could be someone else. Sure it could be and like Christian said it also doesn’t prove that they can estimate height. In addition, how do we know that you didn’t tell them what to say or how tall to say that he was in person? In the first one that you posted, it clearly does as Viper and I both saw. This is the one from late February. The guy specifically said 6’3.5-6’4 which coincidentally is the same range that you had been saying. So while I’m not going to sit and accuse you of anything, the inference is there. Not to mention the same poster that did that said that Marcus Allen was “his height” to Viper on Twitter when it’s clear Allen is taller.
By the way, you saying “Christian cannot remain consistent in an argument” just proves one of Christian’s points from before that you cannot come up with your own stuff. Celebheights 6’1.5 said those exact words to you previously

It's funny how you now say that Shawne does look 6'5 a few times, Christian, when just 2-3 comments ago you insisted that the most he has looked is 6'3.5... You really are one of the most incosistent people I've ever dealt with! And while it is true that Shawne's height varies in different pics, just like any other celebrity, as I said a countless number of names, I tend to rule out 6'2-6'3 because there's no way a 6'2-6'3 guy can look taller than so many 6'2-6'3 and 6'3-3.5 MEASURED people. A 6'2-6'3 guy can maybe look 6'3-6'4 (and more specifically, 6'3.5-6'4) 2-3 times, but not as often as Shawne can. I really don't know where you got the idea that if a celebrity has looked a certain mark a few times, then that mark is as arguable as any other mark they have looked. I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way, otherwise any celebrity could potentially be noticeably shorter or taller than their listings, when it's really not the case.
As for viper, I can't care less if he's been on the site for 13 years. He could even have been on it for 100 years and that wouldn't change a thing. He's nothing more than a troll in my eyes. A guy who thinks that a 6' Tom Welling and a 6'2 Jared Padalecki are even remotely possible is nothing more than that in my book, and cannot be taken seriously. And I just mentioned a couple of those delusional estimates he's been known for, but I could go on and on...
And I don't see how I would only choose things that fit my narrative, considering that I already told you, I don't know how many times (like in every single discussion I have with you), that even those people on Twitter who guessed Shawne at 6'4 is not evidence to me. I really don't choose anything here. You do, though, considering that you often bring up random people meeting celebrities as some kind of evidence, whenever and only when they fit your narrative and agenda, like you're doing here, when you say that viper and Canson's friend are more likely to better gauge heights just because they visit CelebHeights and/or are honest about their heights (as if it proved or guaranteed anything). As I said, if anything, that's even weaker evidence than the other two guys on Twitter, considering that, in their case, not only we don't know how good they are at gauging heights, but we don't even know if they really met Shawne or not.

I really don't know where you got the idea that if a celebrity has looked a certain mark a few times, then that mark is as arguable as any other mark they have looked. I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way, otherwise any celebrity could potentially be noticeably shorter or taller than their listings, when it's really not the case.
As for viper, I can't care less if he's been on the site for 13 years. He could even have been on it for 100 years and that wouldn't change a thing. He's nothing more than a troll in my eyes. A guy who thinks that a 6' Tom Welling and a 6'2 Jared Padalecki are even remotely possible is nothing more than that in my book, and cannot be taken seriously. And I just mentioned a couple of those delusional estimates he's been known for, but I could go on and on...
And I don't see how I would only choose things that fit my narrative, considering that I already told you, I don't know how many times (like in every single discussion I have with you), that even those people on Twitter who guessed Shawne at 6'4 is not evidence to me. I really don't choose anything here. You do, though, considering that you often bring up random people meeting celebrities as some kind of evidence, whenever and only when they fit your narrative and agenda, like you're doing here, when you say that viper and Canson's friend are more likely to better gauge heights just because they visit CelebHeights and/or are honest about their heights (as if it proved or guaranteed anything). As I said, if anything, that's even weaker evidence than the other two guys on Twitter, considering that, in their case, not only we don't know how good they are at gauging heights, but we don't even know if they really met Shawne or not.

Canson is right about judging from a distance. It can make a few inches seem more minimal than it is. Besides, who is good and bad at judging heights is subjective as we're left to guess on almost everyone here. In fairness to viper, he's been right about some that most others were wrong about. For instance, I remember a lot of 6'2"-6'3" range guesses for Paul Walker while viper was saying 6'1" max. It turned out Walker claimed 6'1" so viper's estimate wound up being more plausible than the 6'2.5" guesses. Whether he's right or not on Shawne, I don't know, but sometimes the least popular guesses end up being the closest. The average guess has Merriman under 6'3" and the 6'2" figure has been mentioned before so viper isn't the only one saying 6'2" range.

He does look 6'5" a few times, such as that pic you posted with him and Tebow, who's listed 6'2.25" on this site. He looked 3" taller or at least very close to it next to him. Click Here And no, it doesn't prove your point, because your narrative is that Shawne's about 6'3.5" yet he looks 6'5" in some pics. All it proves is that Shawne's height varies in different pics.
And it's funny how you say Viper's estimate sucks but not the two guys on Twitter who guessed Shawne at 6'4", despite Viper's been on the site for 13 years and has at least a decent amount of knowledge on heights yet the two guys aren't even CH visitors. See what I mean when I said that you only choose things that fit your narrative? I don't see Viper and Canson's friend meeting Shawne and guessing him at 6'2" range as proofs, and never did. But I don't completely disregard them either, unlike what you're doing.

@Christian and Andrea: to be fair I’ve seen Merriman in person as well but I was not close enough to him to make a qualified estimate. I’ll be honest and say that he looked taller than what Viper gave him but then again I didn’t pay enough attention as I was not standing as close to him as Viper was. From that distance if someone is 2” taller/shorter or especially within 2” of someone’s height, from that distance it could be next to impossible. Apparently Viper saw him at the same game I attended but who’s to say his posture wasn’t worse when Viper saw him vs when I did. I saw he was listed 6’4” and assumed he was likely somewhere around that since it was at a distance (practically one section sign of the stadium ex.-201) to 202 was about the distance if not slightly further away. Ground is not always completely level however and I couldn’t see the shoes he was wearing. My friend who has seen him in person just said he didn’t look 6’4” in person and that he isn’t as tall as I am. I told him that people had suggested he was only 6’2” and he said he was 6’2” or so. 6’2” or so could mean 6’2-6’2.5 or a full 6’2.5 or could mean 6’1.5-6’2 like Viper said since we’re just giving a general estimate and although he is decent with a height estimate it’s possible that he was off by half inc in either direction, and it’s possible one had different footwear than the other. Also have to remember in both cases (with my buddy and Viper) that one person may have been awake and on their feet longer than the other. So in Viper’s case (only because I still don’t see Merriman that low), it’s possible Merriman had been on his feet longer than Viper and were either at an extreme low and had poor posture with him. The same could be said about the encounter with Merriman and my buddy who met him. He may not have been standing as straight but that’s actually about how he generally looks is 6’2” range

@Viper: check this out. This distinctly says that the measurements end weigh-ins were first on the agenda in the morning. Remember 2006 rise and shine, it was noted that it was at 6am so likely was same time this year as it’s been every year. Meaning combines are still probably near out of bed heights maybe 1/4” less. Baker Mayfied measured 6’0 5/8 here and 6’0 3/8 at the Senior Bowl as he arrived late and had it done at a “different time” than the others. So my guess is that he could be 6’0.25 in the afternoon possibly and maybe 6’1” out of bed max or even 6’0 7/8 out of bed and 6’0 1/8 at a low depending on when he measured at the Senior Bowl meaning if it was a low. Yet he’s gonna he listed 6’1” on the roster

@viper: 6'2" looks plausible since Ortiz does only look slightly taller than A-Rod such as on the Fox post game show: Click Here And they look virtually the same in this pic: Click Here yet as mentioned A-Rod and Bonds can look very close: Click Here Click Here I hadn't thought about Harper's height beyond the fact he never looked 6'3", but come to think of it, he's really not much taller than Trout and Trout is nowhere near 6'2" as shown by this pic with JJ Watt: Click Here If we're very generous and say Watt was near his low when measured and the difference is only 4.5" then Trout still looks south of 6'1", but I think there's about 5" between them and combine measurements are pretty early, iirc. With that said, Trout is easily the 240 pounds he's reported as. His neck hasn't been seen since he was a rookie! You can also look at Trout with Kershaw and see Kershaw is well below his 6'4" listing so I have to agree, MLB heights are definitely worse. At least the NBA has a pre-draft camp to keep them somewhat in check, but you don't even know how old a lot of MLB players are, much less how tall they are.

We already saw that Vincent Jackson drafted the same year as Young and measured 6’4.75 too but when he got measured at the Senior Bowl in the afternoon was 6’4 3/8. Young is likely the same or even 6’4.25. Even if we stick with 6’4 3/8 that’s still a good 2” with Merriman at least

I doubt he's ever looked as tall as 6'5, Christian, but even if he did, like you say, that would be just more proof that he can't be as low as 6'2-6'3 because there's no way a 6'2-6'3 guy can look as tall as 6'5, so what you're saying not only makes no sense, but it actually proves my point.
And the reason why I say that viper sucks at gauging heights is because of his delusional estimates he's been known for on this site. Anybody that truly knows him knows what kind of poster he is... The fact that he guessed Shawne at 6'1.5-6'2 "in person" just goes to show that he also sucks at gauging heights in person because there's no way he can be as low as that, and there's no need to meet him to assert that. And no, if he had guessed him at 6'3.5-6'4, I still wouldn't have considered it evidence because, I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, random people meeting celebrities is not evidence to me, especially when they are very questionable people like viper. If that was the case, I would just say that Shawne is 6'4 because those two people met him in person (and in this case, you can be sure they really did) and guessed him near that mark, like you always do whenever and only when they fit your narrative of course, but I don't because, unlike you, I remain coherent with my ideas and I still don't consider it evidence, for the reasons I have always stated. 😊

By that logic, I can easily turn the tables and say that there's no way a 6'4 3/8" allegedly measured person would look 6'5" in some pics, but I won't. That's because the fact is that Shawne's height drastically varies in pics.
And I never guaranteed or said there's proof that Viper and Canson's friend are better at gauging heights than the two guys on Twitter. If you read my first comment where I discussed this, I just said "more likely".
And once again you pulled the infamous "you have no clue about heights" card, this time on Viper. So because he met Shawne and guessed him at 6'1.5"-6'2", he sucks at gauging height in person? You've never met Shawne yourself so you have no right to say anything like that. I bet if he guessed him at 6'3.5"-6'4", your response to him would be the total opposite. You've accused me of "disregarding things that don't fit my narrative" (which I don't), but that's exactly what you're doing now.

@Andrea: to be fair, it’s also possible Viper met him and either had a footwear advantage on Merriman or underestimated him by 1/2”. It’s also possible that Merriman wasn’t standing as straight as he does at other times, as well. I can agree that he rarely looks that short but that could mean that he’s somewhere in the 6’2” range since he did measure there at 6’2 1/2. Only problem is we don’t know what time of the day that one took place either

It’s also possible that Merriman wasn’t standing as straight as he does at other times, as well. I can agree that he rarely looks that short but that could mean that he’s somewhere in the 6’2” range since he did measure there at 6’2 1/2. Only problem is we don’t know what time of the day that one took place either

Man gets measured in the 6-2 range. I see him at 6.1.5-6-2. My eyesight is terrible.
What a time to be alive

Sorry viper, but if you really met him (and again, I wouldn't bet a cent on it) and legitimately guessed him at 6'1.5-6'2 (and you even mentioned 6'1 once), all of that just goes to show that not only you suck at gauging heights in photos, but also in person. Nothing more than that.

Trumbo is 6-3. Mancini is 6-3. Adam Jones is a legit 6-2. Britton is 5-11 yet listed at an insane 6-3.
You can be seated in lower reserved at Camden Yards and tell he's under 6-0. I couldn't believe it when I saw it myself.
I think Chris Davis is 6-2.

Couldn't stop laughing when Rick Dempsey called Manny Machado 6-4. He looks 6-1 and he actually looks a hair shorter than 6-1 Jonathan Schoop at times. Schoop is the most legit 6-1 in baseball. Aarron Hicks is a legit 6-1 too.

@Viper: he may have appeared that low to you due to posture or footwear. Not saying he would be 6’4” if he stood straight but that could make the difference between him looking 6’1.5-6’2 and 6’2-6’2.5 or even half inch taller. I know someone who is 6’2” who can give an impression of being only 6’0” or 6’1” because he weighs something like 280-300lbs. He doesn’t stand straight as a result but when he does he actually is a legit 6’2”

@Viper: Gausman is still listed at 6’4” and on a side note, don’t know why he is not long gone. This year has doomed the Orioles! I didn’t realize he was that small though. But this could be a case where maybe footwear was not determined but I can look around and tell you that Gausman isn’t 6’4. Brad Brach towers over him. Brach may not be 6’6” like he’s listed but looks to be about 6’4.5-6’5” if not a full 6’5”

Sorry Andrea, I legitimately saw him looking 6-1.5-6-2 to me. He may not be that low but that's what I saw.
The Orioles Kevin Gausman looked exactly the same to me looking 6-1.5-6-2. He was listed at 6-4 in college.
He looks what I saw him at at the 43 second mark next to 5-7 measured Marcus Stroman.

I'm not denying that he has looked as low as that a few times, Christian, but yeah, I tend to rule out that range because no 6'2-6'2.5 guy should be looking taller than so many 6'2-6'3 and 6'3-6'3.5 measured people. Didn't you once say that "no 6'4 3/8" measured guy should be looking shorter than a 6'3" range guy (referred to Boris)"? Well, leaving aside the fact that you know what I think about Boris, I'm basically making the same argument you made, with the big difference that, unlike yours, it's based on MANY MEASURED people.
And again, I never said that those two guys are better at gauging heights than viper and Canson's friend. All I said is that in their case you can at least be sure that they really met him, even if I am the first to say that we don't know how good they are at gauging heights. In viper and Canson's friend case, not only we don't know how good they are at gauging heights, but we also don't even know if they really met him or not. And as I said, being a Celebheights visitor (more troll than visitor, in viper's case) or honest about your own height doesn't prove or guarantee anything, and saying that they are likely to have better judgements at height because of that is pure speculation.
As for those 6'2 and 6'2.5 figures, I have already said what I think about them: "Both those pages that provided those figures certainly don't seem the most reliable ones. In fact, that NFL.com page that lists Shawne at 6'2 also lists Jon Condo at 6'2 3/8, which just doesn't add up, considering that this is how Shawne looks next to the same Jon: Click Here And couchscout not only lists (ON THE SAME PAGE) Shawne at 6'2.5, but also lists Shaun Phillips at 6'3 1/8, Nick Hardwick at 6'3 6/8 and Antonio Gates at 6'3 4/8, which again doesn't add up, considering that Shawne does look easily taller than all of them: Click Here Click Here Click Here ".

At the end of the day, there is evidence in almost every direction and this is if we don’t take into account the random people meeting him such as Viper, my friend who met him, and the two that Andrea showed. This also includes Rudy Gay’s encounter.
6’2” range because he measured 6’2.4 at his Pro Day and had a 6’2 listing that Rob posted above. He also looks 6’4” in several pics.
6’3” range because he looks that height In several pics as well. This includes almost every part of the 6’3” range (6’3, 6’3.25, 6’3.5+).
6’4 range as he measured 6’4 3/8 at the combine and can look 6’4” in several pics
6’5 range while extremely unlikely there are maybe 2 pics where he can look that
6’1 range while also extremely unlikely there are pics of him looking that as well

@Andrea
You are denying it, because you said that there's no way a 6'2-6'3 guy can look taller than so many 6'2-6'3 and 6'3-6'3.5 measured people. You're implying that 6'2"-6'3" is impossible for Shawne. And like I said, the two guys on Twitter have stronger evidence of meeting Shawne because they have a pic with him, but it doesn't prove that they're better at gauging heights than Viper and Canson's friend. If anything, it might suggest that they might not be that good at gauging heights (like the majority of people in the world) since they aren't CH visitors and we don't know if their height claims are honest or not, since a lot of people exaggerate their heights. Viper and Canson's friend are likely to have better judgements at height though.
And the evidence to Shawne being 6'2"-6'3" isn't because Viper and Canson's friend meeting him and guessing him at 6'2" (although it's a good indication), but rather because he was measured 6'2.4" at the Senior Bowl and has an official 6'2" listing by the NFL. If Viper and Canson's friend meeting him and guessing him at 6'2" was evidence, then I would have him at 6'2", but I don't. I have him at 6'2"-6'3", more specifically around 6'2.5". Them meeting him and guessing him at 6'2" is simply an indication of him being 6'2.5", just like the two guys on Twitter meeting him and guessing him at 6'4" is simply your indication of him being 6'3.5"

If you look at my older comments, I've never denied it, Christian, and that's the reason why I'm still not completely sure about him. If anything, I appreciate the fact that you admitted that Shawne can easily look 6'4 (not so sure about 6'5), considering that a couple of comments ago you insisted that the most he has looked was 6'3.5, which is clearly not the case. That being said, although there are definitely a few instances where he can really look as low as 6'2-6'3, hence why you could say his height can look all over the place, that certainly doesn't mean that that range is as possible as say 6'3-6'4 because there's no way a 6'2-6'3 guy can look taller than so many 6'2-6'3 and 6'3-6'3.5 MEASURED people. No way!
As for those two people I've mentioned who met Shawne, it is more evidence than viper and Canson's friend for the simple fact that, in that case, we can be sure that they really met him. In viper and Canson's friend case, you certainly can't say the same. Especially in viper's case, considering that trusting his word is like, if not worse than, trusting the word of someone who believes that the Earth is flat. And even if they did, you don't know how good they are at gauging heights, no matter if they are CelebHeights visitors or honest about their heights. That doesn't proof or guarantee anything. It's pretty easy to overestimate/underestimate heights if you don't pay attention to things like footwear, posture, ground or the top of someone's head. And that's the reason why I always take estimates like those with a large pinch of salt and NEVER consider them real evidence, even if I agree with them. Even now, I could easily say that Shawne is 6'4 because those two people met him in person (and in this case, you can be sure they really did) and guessed him near that mark, like you always do whenever and only when they fit your narrative of course, but I don't because, unlike you, I remain coherent with my ideas and I still don't consider it evidence, for the reasons I have always stated.

@Christian: the one poster who Andrea is referring to guessed (I think Marcus Allen) as his height. Viper challenged him as well a few months back as it was on Twitter and Allen was apparently taller than the other guy. I know his 6’3.5-6’4 came after Andrea showed him the page where we were debating here and he saw his guess for Merriman. My opinion is that Merriman would measure that in shoes 6’3.5-.75 easy. 6’3.5-6’4 makes even less sense than 6’2 would because a guy measuring that high in the AM and that far above 6’4 would only have been on his feet for prob an hour but I doubt he was directly out of bed. At least Viper’s 6’2” estimate makes sense if the Pro Day were a height after he had been laying down or a morning height. That I could and would actually believe although I see a weak 6’3 or strong 6’2 and not 6’1.5-6’2

I appreciate the fact that you admitted that Shawne's height looks all over the place. Like I said, he can look anywhere from 6'2" to 6'5" in pics. And sure, the two guys on Twitter had pics with Shawne so you can say that they undeniably met him, but them guessing him at 6'4" is no more evidence than Viper and Canson's friend guessing him at 6'2" range. Keep in mind that many guys exaggerate their heights, and they're most likely aren't CelebHeights visitors, so we don't know how well those two are at gauging heights. A lot of people who aren't honest with their heights in real life tend to guess me at 6'7" despite me being 6'5 3/8". Guys like Viper and Canson's friend on the other hand, are more likely to better gauge heights because Viper's a visitor on CH and all of Canson's friends are honest with their heights. Most people who I meet who are honest guess me at 6'5-6'6" or about 6'5".

But then again Lavar shows 6’3.3 and draftscout shows him 6’2.2 which is weird. Btw, another one there, Darnerian McCants is listed 6’4” flat (6040) on the combine listing but 6’3” here on Draftscout and the NFL listed him 6’3” when he played

@Junior and Viper: have to remember Rob has Ben Affleck at 6’2.5 when he really can look 6’1” range. He also had several other celebs overlisted by more than just half inch and they haven’t been adjusted. Merriman may be no different. Now to be fair Merriman may not have stood at his tallest when Viper met him but to be fair as well, I’m also from the Washington DC area and have a friend who has met Merriman. I asked him how tall and was he as tall as listed and he said no way. When I mentioned What Viper said about 6’2” he said he looked 6’2” ish or about 6’2”. Now coincidentally, the MD game Viper met Merriman at, I believe I was there too. I saw Merriman as well but he was at a distance so I assumed he was prob his listed height but because I wasn’t close enough.

Just because Rob doesn't have him as that doesn't mean so.
Junior, I've seen him in person and he's nowhere close to 6-3 range. He looked 6-1.5-6-2 honestly.
He could be as high as 6-2.5 but that's it.

@Junior: rob is great but doesn’t mean he’s perfect. He had Pamela Anderson Lee an inch higher until he met her then dropped her. To be fair he hasn’t met Merriman so if he did he would be able to make a better assessment. And who knows maybe he really is 6’4” but maybe he really is only 6’2” range. Gotta remember he’s never met Affleck either and he’s likely overlisted

@Andrea: to be fair there is no proof that the person you met on Twitter actually knows how tall Merriman is, either. So just because the guy has pics with him (and you also threw a range out there to him that you thought he was as Viper and I both saw). Therefore, just because there is a picture with Merriman, doesn’t make it any more credible.

So many people think Barkley is taller than his 6-4 5/8-6-4.75 measurements. He can look taller
And alas, Shawne Merriman looks 6-2 next to Barkley

Sorry Andrea, he doesn't look taller than every single athlete in that range. In fact he has looked shorter with the examples I've provided.
And again, I'm not going to misjudge a 6-4 guy at 6-1.5-6-2.
And also, a guy who played a whole basketball game with him and said 6-2

@Viper: true there is no 6’3” measurement. But there was “allegedly” a 6’4 3/8. Oddly enough although he didn’t measure it, 6’3” is how he can look at times. But can look 6’2 or 6’4 too

If Shawne Merriman is only 6'2-6'3 like some people posted then why do Rob listed him 6'4. think. 6'3 1/2 will be his low not under.

I'm going to rule out 6'2.5, based on ALL the pics I have posted with other MEASURED athletes, not only based on Tebow's pic, Christian. As I said, there's no way a 6'2-6'2.5 guy can look taller than every single athlete who was measured in that range, and even more so, there's no way a 6'2-6'2.5 guy can look taller than every single athlete who was measured around an inch taller than that. And, unlike Boris, it is true that Shawne's height can really look all over the place at times, but generally he can look anywhere between 6'3 and 6'4.
And since you give so much importance to random people "meeting" celebrities and keep considering it evidence, I suggest you to take a look at my older comments because I did post 2 people who met him and both of them guessed him near 6'4. And in that case, it's certainly much stronger evidence, considering that they both had a picture with him (so they met him for a fact). To me it is not evidence at all, but for a guy like you who seems to base everything on that, it should be indeed, although I'm sure you will hypocritically disregard that for the simple fact that it doesn't fit your narrative...

@Christian: another variable is the floor. In the pics that have been posted where people assume he’s 6’4 or more this has to be taken into consideration. Below he is with 6’3” Lavar Arrington. No way that Arrington would make him look that small unless he’s standing on something similar to Merriman with Tebow shouldn’t look that tall. Even if he were nearer 6’4. According to those who have met Lavar in the area when he played here, he’s legit 6’3 in person

@Christian: even discounting my buddy who met him and Viper, I can see him next to Shawn Kemp and how he stacked up with LT vs how Vernon Davis stacks up with him and tell Merriman isn’t 6’4”. Also you bring up a good point. If Merriman is 3” taller than Tebow, and Tebow measures 6’2.75, then Merriman should’ve been close to 6’6 in the AM like 6’5.5 minimum when a 6’8 range Shawn Kemp had him by much more than 3” it was close to 6” assuming Kemp is even the 6’8.5 and not less. Even if he is Merriman is 6’3” max next to him. Not to mention a 6’4.3 guy isn’t going to be taller than his Combine measurement nor will he be a weak 6’4 from a morning measurement an hour out of bed. He would be 6’3 7/8 or 6’4” similar to Calhoun who is also taller than Merriman by a good inch to inch and a half.

@Viper: that’s odd because Tebow really doesn’t look over 6’2”. He must have poor posture. A 6’2.75 or 7/8 morning height should be 6’2.25 no lower at their lowest. Perhaps even 6’2 3/8. Something has to give here

@Andrea
In the second pic with Shawne and Tebow, it looks about a 3" difference, making Shawne look 6'5" range. If you're gonna rule out the 6'2.4" measurement based on that pic, then by that same logic, you should rule out the supposed 6'4 3/8" measurement as well, since a 6'4 3/8" (especially morning) measured guy shouldn't be looking 6'5". This just goes to show you that at times Shawne can look much taller or shorter and his height is all over the place, similar to Boris. Depending on pics, (including pics with decent camera angles) Shawne can look 6'2", 6'2.5", 6'3", 6'3.5", 6'4" and even 6'5". But the main reason why I rule out the supposed 6'4 3/8" measurement, is because 2 different people met him and said he looked about 6'2" range. And also looking shorter than Boris, the guy whom several people met him and said he looked 6'3" range. No 6'4 3/8" measured guy should be looking shorter than a 6'3" range guy.

Actually, his 6'4 3/8 measurement seems a lot more believable than Tebow's 6'2.75 one, considering that the difference between them can certainly look bigger than what their measurements suggest (1 inch and 5/8): Click Here Click Here
I would safely rule out those 6'2 and 6'2.5 figures for two reasons. First of all, there's no way a 6'2-6'2.5 guy can look noticeably taller than so many athletes, who are supposed to have been measured around the same range, and even more so, there's no way a 6'2-6'2.5 guy can look comfortably taller than so many atheletes, who are supposed to have been measured around an inch taller than that. And second of all, both those pages that provided those figures certainly don't seem the most reliable ones. In fact, that NFL.com page that lists Shawne at 6'2 also lists Jon Condo at 6'2 3/8, which just doesn't add up, considering that this is how Shawne looks next to the same Jon: Click Here And couchscout not only lists (ON THE SAME PAGE) Shawne at 6'2.5, but also lists Shaun Phillips at 6'3 1/8, Nick Hardwick at 6'3 6/8 and Antonio Gates at 6'3 4/8, which again doesn't add up, considering that Shawne does look easily taller than all of them: Click Here Click Here Click Here
That being said, it's funny (but certainly not surprising) how certain people here say that he never looks 6'4. Not only there are many instances where he does look 6'4, if you look at all the pics I have posted on this page, but there are certainly more instances where he looks 6'4 than 6'2 or 6'2.5.

@Viper: I can’t speak for English because he could look taller tbh but you’re right about Gates. In the pro bowl pic they’re standing next to each other and Gates has a little on him. Gates isn’t a 6’4 guy either. He was supposedly measured 6’3.5 but not sure if that’s a low either. I mentioned a couple days ago that the pic Andrea posted below with LT and Vernon Davis is on Davis’s FB page. That pic is full and you can tell that LT is standing much further up than Vernon and that LT has footwear advantage with thicker boots. Davis looks taller with LT than Merriman all things considered

@Christian: my guess is the senior bowl listing is more accurate or he may dip into the strong 6’2” range. 6’3 is absolute max on a good day. Viper is right in that Rudy Gay called him 6’2” as well and with Shawn Kemp that’s too much for him to be anything over 6’3” and that doesn’t take into account Kemp is leaning like Viper said. For good measure, here’s Kemp with Shaq and Dominique Wilkins (who is said to be 6’6.5 or 6’7 as well). I know someone who has met him and pegged him 6’6” range. Kemp is max 6’8.5. My friend who met him pegged him as around 6’2” and Viper had 6’1.5-6’2 but there’s a chance he wasn’t standing his tallest.

He looks too short to say he measured 6'4 3/8". If the measurement was 6'4" flat then just maybe I can believe it to be legit since most NFL players are about 1/4"-1/2" shorter than their measurements since the most he has looked is 6'3.5", along with 6'3", 6'2.5" and 6'2" in pics. I can confidently rule out the 6'4 3/8" as an error.

That being said, even if there are several instances where he looks near enough 6'4, like in those pics with Breazeale (just to mention the most recent one), he may well be more of a weak 6'4, and that 6'4 3/8 measurement could be similar to Tim Tebow's one, who generally doesn't look over 6'2 flat, despite his 6'2.75 measurement.

@Christian: that’s correct! In some pics that’s how it is here on this site. Someone doesn’t stand as tall as possible and it’s automatic that the other person looks “XYZ” with them. I can see Merriman maybe dropping to 6’2.25 at a low and it’s possible that the 6’2.4 is really 6’2 3/8 and not 1/2. However, I would say the same as you did he never looks as low as 6’1.5-6’2”.
@Viper: yes . Just because they’re listed at a height on TV means nothing. The NBA routinely lists people 2” or more taller than they are and that means nothing when it comes to their “actual” height

@Viper @Andrea:
The measurement for Brown or Merriman in 05 are the measurements that they were given during the combine. That doesn’t make it more official simply because they read it on TV when they announced either of the two as picks. If they screwed up the measurement in the combine then they would once again screw it up there on TV. Not saying either of the two is accurate or not but in Merriman’s case he has a 6’2 1/2” measurement as well as the 6’4 3/8 measurement so we are not sure which of the two is accurate. It could very well be that the former is or the latter. The problem is at times he doesn’t look as low as 6’2 or 6’2.5 in pics but he never looks 6’4” as he would if he really measured that in the morning. Even if that were a morning height, he should still be a solid 6’4 or 6’3 7/8 at a normal low which he clearly isn’t. I’d be hard pressed to say he’s taller than Vernon Davis

@Christian, @Viper: based on what my friend told me the most I could buy is maybe 6’2.5 max. He just said “6’2ish. But In your case you mentioned 6’1.5-6’2 (weak 6’2). Based on some pics he looks taller. For example this pic I would estimate to be “about” a 3” difference. Christian raises a good point about footwear. The pic isn’t the greatest either.
The other variable is that Brazeale looks almost the same height as Anthony Joshua. Maybe half inch difference. Rob estimated AJ as a “weak 6’6”. He mentioned in response to me on his page that he doesn’t think he would measure above 6’6” flat which likely means he’s 6’5.5-6’6” zone. My guess would be about 197 and Brazeale maybe 6’6.25 a low or 6’6-6’6.25 zone. That’s very little between them. Brazeale’s 6’6.5 was likely earlier in the day as most athletes are measured in the morning. While I won’t call it out of bed it may be like a combine where he may only be 6’6 or a 6’6-6’6.25. But Even going off the low, Merriman would likely clear a flat 6’3” based on the pic but not by much. If we go off a 6’6.5 in the pic, Merriman could look close to weak 6’4”. The weak 6’4” just never adds up but neither does 6’3” because he measured “supposedly” 6’4 3/8 and 6’2.5 and supposedly 6’2”.

@Viper: I will say this. I firmly believe that he doesn’t look more than about 6’3” in the pic. The pic isn’t the best but Merriman still looks max 6’3” imho. Brazeale is listed 6’6.5 and that’s why he got the 6’7” listing Andrea referred to as that’s what he is on the Tale of the Tape or in official listings. But as an athlete, we all know that may just be a morning height as Rob even mentioned on AJ’s page that AJ is not over 6’6” in person which with how he lists the celebs means he’s likely weak 6’6 like he did list him. Rob typically gives a celeb the benefit of the doubt. As for Brazeale, I don’t think he’s under 6’6. My guess is somewhere 6’6-6’6.5 range and Merriman based on the pic 6’2.5-6’3” but then have seen other pics where he looks less or more

That Dominic Breazeale guy generally gets listed at 6'7 and he does look comfortably taller than someone like Anthony Joshua, if you take a look at them together. So, if Anthony himself is just under 6'6, that guy must be at least 6'6-6'7, which actually puts Shawne near enough 6'4 there as he doesn't look more than 2-3 inches shorter than him (maybe right around 2.5 inches): Click Here

You're right, Lynch's about 5'10.75" at his low. It's a good rule of thumb to deduct 3/8" from players' combine heights to find out their evening heights, although some are closer to their measurements and others much lower.

Rob, here's the answer from the owner of couchscout, where he basically admits that his data aren't always reliable: Click Here
Although we can all agree that that 6'4 3/8 figure does seem too much for Shawne, I highly doubt he's ever measured as low as 6'2.5 as he looks noticeably taller than that with way too many people (the majority of whom was measured as well) to be as short as that... That being said, a weak 6'4 is probably a better shout and maybe that 6'4 3/8 measurement is bit like Tim Tebow's one, who generally doesn't look over 6'2 flat, despite his 6'2.75 measurement.

Editor RobYeah with big datasets there will be errors. I once worked for an organisation with triple redundancy form checking and errors still existed in customer data. Some guys might surprise when they measure and if that over 6ft measurement is correct it would be more like me getting 5ft 8.6 after Busting a Gut within 90 minutes of wakening

To be perfectly honest, that really doesn’t tell us that he’s 6’2. It just says that, provided he did not grow from the time he graduated high school until the end of his Sophomore year, that he is not 6’4”. It is, of course, possible that he grew, but less likely once someone hits 18 or 19. I do see your point, to a degree, if what you are saying is that College Football lists players in shoes. However, there are some that aren’t listed in shoes, as well. I’m not disagreeing that Merriman could still be 6’2” range, because that is a possibility. I’m only saying that that isn’t enough to say he’s only 6’2” because his listed height was reduced, on paper, from the time he graduated high school until he was about 20, because that could also mean that he’s 6’3” barefoot, as well

However, there are some that aren’t listed in shoes, as well. I’m not disagreeing that Merriman could still be 6’2” range, because that is a possibility. I’m only saying that that isn’t enough to say he’s only 6’2” because his listed height was reduced, on paper, from the time he graduated high school until he was about 20, because that could also mean that he’s 6’3” barefoot, as well

Merriman was listed at 6-3 his first 2 years. He was listed at 6-4 in high school, at least his last 2 years.
Common sense tells you hes 6-2

@Andrea: and you call Moe a genuine guy when he not only insulted both Bobby and me but also Joe and several others over the years who have not agreed with him. But that should be expected from you because you’re cut from the same cloth. You do the same thing, which is why you accuse me of doing it knowing that you do. Then you go and try to find posts of disagreements I’ve had like that is supposed to be pertinent information in this discussion about Merriman? Lol. Just like Christian said in the Khodjoe argument. If you don’t like someone’s estimate that’s one thing or even the way they estimated multiple celebs, but you make it personal instead just like Rampage said about you.

@Merriman: knowing how football players are overlisted on college rosters, it’s possible he was 6’2 and listed 6’3, at least when he began his college career at Maryland. Now him growing over the course of his career is unlikely but not unheard of. Nor is the possibility he grew from the time he committed. There’s always a possibility his listing was never changed. However, I did see a 6’4” listing at least a handful of times at Maryland for him and never a 6’2” listing. I can recall 6’3” but it’s been so long I can’t remember exactly what he was officially listed at

@Andrea: go to Derek Theler’s page on 23 March 2016. That’s where Moe insulted not just me but Bobby and that was the first insult that he made against me and I simply retaliated. It’s funny you don’t mention that but that doesn’t surprise me. Because as Christian and I both said you use any evidence that supports your narrative and conveniently leave out evidence that contradicts it. You can easily tell who started the argument. All I said was that I had a hard time seeing him at that. And it became “nobody cares about your height” and then that. All because I didn’t agree with his 6’6” estimate for Theler. Had I not mentioned it, he likely wouldn’t have argued or even brought it up. And I was justified in my argument back with him. And you’re one to talk because you’ve repeatedly insulted Viper because he doesn’t agree with you and this is even after he even stopped responding to you or mentioning your name in any posts. Oh but no, you don’t realize what an insult is or that you are even doing it because you have been doing it so long to people who don’t agree with you that it is now second nature to you. Please don’t respond back to me. You’re a waste of time to even talk to and a joke.

Wow, that's all you got? “your bad English, your bad estimating skills”, what a big insult that is. As I said, you're so used to insulting any poster that disagrees with you that you don't even recognize what an insult is anymore. One thing is calling someone's estimates bad, another thing is going personal and insulting people like you often do. Funny how you don't even realize that. Same thing with moe. Sure, I said he lost credibility when he said that Tom Welling looked no more than 6'2 in person, but I've never insulted him. Just like he never insulted you. You did, though. Just because you didn't agree with him, again. I certainly find hard to buy some of his estimates, but to be fair to him, he does seem a genuine guy and certainly a lot more mature than you. How pathetic it is to bring up his job and saying that he's unemployed just because you don't agree with his estimates. You must have a really sad life to do that, constantly. And a lot of issues, of course.
As for the rest, lost cause probably doesn't even cover it...
P.S. Nice English, again! 😊

You say anything when someone posts something that doesn’t support your narrative. Not to mention you said there was 2cm difference with Khodjoe and Haysbert and 3 with Kobe and Boris when it’s clearly a significant difference between the pics. And then did it again with Shlique Calhoun and Merriman and Wiley and Merriman. You didn’t like the pics that were posted with them initially because they contradicted your narrative so you chose your own and made an excuse why they were for some reason better? 😂 😂 your pathetic!

@Andrea: the same way you told 6’3” “your bad English, your bad estimating skills” and have lashed out at Viper, Christian, me of course, Bennett, and of course Rampage. So don’t continue down this path making things personal (just like rampage said you do and I agree with him). You always do this, however, when you see someone doesn’t agree with you. Wonder why that is?
And me saying what I did to all of the ones you just mentioned (funny how you had to search for all of that), was because they attacked me first. I also saw you Disagreed with Moe “saying he lost credibility” etc. that’s before he and I got into it. All I told him was that I had a hard time seeing him at that height and he began insulting me. So it’s ok for him to insult others because they don’t agree but when I respond back I’m the one in the wrong? But You are just like him tho you do it when someone doesn’t agree with you. And very childish going and looking for stuff others did in the past just like you did on Boris’s page with Christian and me. You are doing that once again here. All over the video that I posted to viper that had nothing to do with how tall Merriman was it was to make a point. And you and your comments back just because you don’t agree with something precipitated this one.

@Viper: just shows that the data from the site is not always 100% accurate. That could also be the case with Merriman as it was with Darnerian McCants who shows 6040 on Draft Scout but was listed 6’3” his entire professional football career. There are a host of other players that I have seen with similar discrepancies that could be added to that list if we took the time to research.

And that is essentially the case here because those pics you posted aren’t the best either. Not saying they’re better or worse than Vipers but they’re not enough to tell he’s a certain height when he can look shorter in several others which he does

@Andrea: if you read my comments since this began I have said he can look multiple ranges. So for every pic you posted supporting your side of the debate, there is one that supports what Viper says. Now Viper is saying under 6’2 that I do not believe. If you remember I actually said he looks 6’3” at times or closer to it based on pics. My point that I’m making to you is that you are accusing me of doing what you’re doing here. Any pics that are posted where he looks under your argument you simply disregard or say there is an issue with the picture. There is not an issue with every pic where he looks 6’2” or 6’3. Everyone else here knows that too. There is not an issue with every pic you posted but some are not good either. That’s a fact because none of these pics is perfect. Of course there are some issues with some of the ones Viper posted and that video that I posted at the Espys was not evidence I was using. It really has no bearing other than to say that Davis doesn’t look 2” taller like Viper is saying. But this all goes back to what I said on Boris’s page to you early on that you make everything about volume. And I’m saying that respectfully. What I mean is that you say that because he looks taller in more pics (in your opinion) that those carry more weight. All I’ve said is that you could have 20 pics that show him as tall as you think and 10 where he isn’t but if those 10 are better pics than most of the 20, the sample you post is not as good. And I’m not saying 20 of yours are bad because I see you arguing that back to me. I’m simply using an example. At the same time not all of them are good at gushing height. And let’s be fair and honest here, this is a debate just like a political debate. Of course you’re going to choose pics that support your narrative which is what most did. That’s what you did. In the large post with all of your pics you don’t post any of Shawn’s (in your opinion) looking 6’2 or 6’3, you chose the ones where he looks 6’3.5+ (in your opinion) regardless of camera angle etc. if you read below I even (beginning of March or so) said on multiple posts back to you that he looks several different heights yet because I don’t agree that he definitively looks 6’3.5 like you think, I’m all of a sudden wrong. I admit with other posters I’ve jumped but only when I feel something is silly. Truly here in this debate nothing is off limits as you said it yourself his measurements are all over the place. Even though you don’t think 6’3 carries weight I think it can since there are pics where he looks 6’3 such as with Marcellus Wiley and also Shilique Calhoun (he actually looks less than 6’3” in one). That’s another example tho because you chose a different pic of them and used the perceived height diff in that pic to definitively say what it was and disregarded the pic of Shilique and Merriman that Viper posted when to be honest there is nothing wrong with the pic. But you disregarded it because it didn’t fit your argument. I’m being respectful to you in this post as well.
And what you said about me hearing or seeing something from encounters is not all true. But sometimes common sense. I actually thought he was closer to his listed height when I saw him but because he wasn’t right in front of me. So I disagreed with Viper on that initially until I saw more pics and asked someone I know who has met him that is honest about his own height and good at judging height

@Andrea: lol and that’s exactly what you are doing here once again. You say “I don’t see any pictures where he looks below XYZ”. Then you say that because I don’t see Merriman as taller than Davis in your pics. Then you throw in camera tricks etc. how convenient that you don’t mention that in any pic that Merriman “to you” looks 6’3.5? lol that’s common sense though because you cherry pick and are biased and take whatever supports your narrative for each celeb. You’re a hypocrite as stated before. And at least for me I have been objective here saying that his height looks all over the place but once again if someone doesn’t “agree with you on how someone looks in a pic” all hell breaks loose on the forum. And you’re so sure of yourself too. Quite funny with Marcellus Wiley three other people have said Merriman looks at best 6’3” yet you say “on authority” that he is not. Instead, you “cherry pick” a different picture where he does look taller than Wiley and say that the pic that was posted first is no good because it doesn’t support your narrative. So really let’s cut the crap, Andrea
My pics are at a disadvantage? Yours really aren’t better. The only reason that you say they are is because you can see footwear which in some pics with certain celebs appear to be the only ones available which is what a handful of other posters do when it comes down to a pic with no ground footwear etc vs a pic with all of it shown even if there is a poor angle of the camera or if someone is leaning and that pic is used as evidence all of a sudden. So you don’t say anything about Viper’s pic that he posted (regardless of not seeing footwear etc) but yours where Davis is leaning very clearly is a good pic. And the video I posted of them at the Espys was actually not meant to say that Merriman is only this or that. Viper initially said that Davis is 2” taller and I happened to find the video and I actually disagreed with him. All I said was my opinion that the diff would be at most an inch or that they would be similar in height with one another not 2” like Viper said. Yet you’re attacking me because I posted it? It was a simple response because Viper said before “I posted pics back about 10 years ago that Davis edged Merriman by 2”. I found the pics and simply said how I felt which was disagreeing with him on it being a 2” diff

@Viper: one thing I will say is from the buddy who actually stood face to face that person said about 6’2ish which is similar to how you saw him. Then again I was a couple hundred feet away and really didn’t make anything of it. Assumed he as around my height and my 6’3 friend’s. My guess is he doesn’t dip below 6’2” if he’s that low at all.

Early muscular bloomers like Merriman and Rock peaked in height at 14, and no later than 15.
Reminds me of the 2 oldest guys in my high school who peaked at 14 and were big dudes, the one being a runningback. They looked 30 at 16, and still look about the same now at 37.
Both Rock and Merriman looked old in high school

You have no clue about camera tricks such as camera angles and camera positions (my pictures are not better than that clip... really?) and you regularly accuse people of making excuses whenever you don't understand these things. I don't want to start another endless debate, though, so let's just end this here. From now on, I'll just ignore any comment of yours...
Goodbye Canson!

@Andrea: you’re wrong. Davis is clearly standing worse with LT than Merriman. The picture Viper posted where he enhanced Merriman is standing perfectly with LT while Davis is leaning like he has in many of the other pics. The difference in the pic Viper posted is clearly around a 4” difference with Merriman and LT. maybe it’s 4-4.5” but not higher than that

It's amazing how other actors say Tom Welling is 6-5 lol. I'm still unsure on his height.

Obviously it's not the best camera angle favoring Vernon, but you can still easily tell he's taller. You can also tell Merrimans eyes are looking UP at Vernon no question

@Viper: assuming the Rock is still a full 6’2 (he may be under by a hair) Merriman doesn’t have more than maybe 1/2” or 2cm on him but that’s still gonna put Merriman at at least 6’2 maybe even 189cm

@Viper: I’d have a hard time seeing him measure only 6’1.5-.7. A 6’2 1/2 Senior Bowl even if that were morning would make him around 6’2-6’2.25 range. It’s difficult to see him less than that to be honest. And to have the audacity to say he’s 6’5 lol. But it’s difficult to see him any higher than maybe 6’2.5-6’3 at the same time. When you met him he may not have been standing his tallest or maybe someone had an advantage or disadvantage with footwear. But I’d be hard pressed to see him less than 6’2

@Andrea: when you say Merriman looked noticeably taller with too many people what about the others like Vincent Jackson, Vince Young etc. he’s clearly 2” shorter than both guys. Antonio Gates is also taller than him btw. They’re standing on level ground so I can’t see an advantage Gates would have that Merriman won’t. That sounds more like an excuse to be honest. But if you want to say he looked noticeably taller I can say he looked 6’2” or maybe 6’3 in some and between the two numbers I see more evidence of him being either of the two than 6’4. The 6’3.5 even tho he can look it I agree, doesn’t seem right if he accurately measured 6’4 3/8? He would still be 6’4” or 6’3 7/8. I think it’s more likely that he’s 6’2 range maybe not flat but the 6’2.4 could be about what he looks.

@Andrea: it is the case. Boris has a footwear advantage on him. A canvas shoe is not as much as what Boris has on. I understand your view but you can’t say something isn’t true or isn’t the case just because you don’t believe it or choose not to believe it.
As far as Merriman and Davis in that clip I actually was telling viper that it is difficult to determine their exact difference. He was saying it’s 2” when I can’t tell. All I can tell is that they look about the same and from the view I would have to say Davis probably is the taller of the two or they’re around the same height
As far as biased, you do pick and choose what you want to believe when you say “there is no evidence of so and so looking less than....”. Your pics with Merriman and Davis really are no better than the video and to be honest I’m not seeing Merriman taller than Davis in them. Your pics are not better than the one that Viper posted to be honest other than that we can see footwear but Davis’s posture (I think everyone here will agree except you) is worse than Merriman’s.

Who said that Condo looks taller, Canson? Condo does look noticeably shorter than Shawne: Click Here And he's supposed to have been measured at 6'2 1/8 on draftscout: Click Here Or even 6'2 3/8 on that page that has Shawne down at 6'2 flat...
As for Ladainian, I don't see the connection, but I don't think he looks just about 4 inches shorter than Shawne like you say. If that's only 4 inches, then the difference between Vernon and the same Ladainian is no more than 3 inches: Click Here And no, before you say that, Vernon isn't standing any worse than Shawne next to Ladainian. And, if anything, Shawne looks more disadvantaged than Vernon, considering that he looks further away from the camera compared to him!

@Andrea: when you said Condo looks taller he may in fact be. Remember you also said Merriman looks more than 4” taller than Lt when with the pic viper posted (even ground) it’s abojt 4”. So not sure your pic is anymore reliable than the other one. We honesty will never know which is more reliable

That's the one I'm talking about. Even with the camera angle Vernon is clearly taller

LOL, that clip is awful, Canson. Shawne could still be easily taller than him there and it would be impossible to tell, considering that Vernon is standing noticeably closer to the camera...
Funny how those two standing side by side pictures are not enough to tell that Shawne is taller than Vernon, according to you, but at the same time this clip is. As I said, it is certainly not my intention to start a new fight, but this is called being biased.

Andrea, upgrading a guy by 2 inches....
Pics don't tell the whole story when he looked 6-1-6-2 up close, Cansons friend seeing him at 6-2,
Rudy Gay playing basketball with him in a charity basketball game and saying he's 6-2, different sources saying he's 6-2 along with a 6-2.4 exact.
If he was measured at 6-1.5-6-1.7 I could have easily bought that since that's what he looked like in person

That's not really the case, Canson. At the very worst, you can say he looks 6'3.5 with Kobe, assuming that Kobe really is as low as 6'4.75, but overall even that mark does seem too low for him. 6'3 is BS. That being said, I don't know why you always bring Boris up, but I'm not going to start any new discussion about him with you. You think he's no more than 6'3? That's fine. As I said, I certainly don't need your approval or to convince you he's comfortably taller than that...
As for Shawne, regardless of any measurement, I think he generally can look anywhere from 6'3 up to 6'4, but 6'2? That certainly seems too low. He has looked noticeably taller than that with way too many people (the majority of whom was measured as well) to be as short as that...

@Viper: in the video I posted of Davis and Merriman The camera angle is bad. But I could see Merriman being no taller than Davis as a best case for him. Worst case he’s prob an inch shorter. That clip wasn’t enough for me to say 2” tbh but Davis’s shoulders appear higher and he’s imho taller

@Viper: yea it’s at the Espys but prob not the same one you’re thinking of. I posted below.
Click Here
As far as Sharpe, he may be 6’1 and change easily and could’ve had footwear advantage which is why you thought he was 6’2. I saw Merriman from max couple hundred feet and assumed he was close to me in height but then again saw James Brown up close and thought he was a fraction taller. Brown called himself 6’4.5-6’5 maybe he’s 6’4 5/8-.75 which explains why he looked a fraction taller than me

What's really preposterous in thinking he's 6-4 is that he did not grow an inch from his listed 6-3 after his sophomore year. A fully developed guy like that similar to Rock.
Use your head. That and the 6-2 from different sources and 6-2.4

@Andrea: he looked well under 6’4” with Kobe. He also had a footwear advantage on Kobe. He looks Max 6’3” with Kobe. And he also looked about that with michael Jordan same with Jamie Foxx. Now many of the ones you posted he can look taller but from what I’ve seen I never thought Boris was that tall. Now Shawne he can look all over. There are times he looks 6’4 or close to it in some pics prob a bunch to be honest but then 6’2” in a bunch then actually surprisingly 6’3” in many but no measurements in that range. To be honest I have had times where I could almost argue 6’3” over 6’2 at least a weak 6’3 based on appearance, but I think about the measurements where they fall

Canson, I don't think that Shawne looks shorter than Gates in that other picture. Plus, it's an outside picture, on the grass, so there's always a chance the ground is uneven and advantageous to either person. Look at Nick Hardwick on the right. He looks taller than Shawne, but I find it hard to believe he really is because he did look comfortably shorter than him in that famous picture with Ladainian: Click Here The other picture I've posted is a lot more reliable than that because it's taken inside, so the ground isn't uneven for sure. And Shawne does look taller than Gates: Click Here
