Titus can look 6-2.
He's clearly an inch taller than 6-2 Merriman though.

Titus is not 6'2.5
He is 6'3.25-6'3.5
he could edge shawne there bus shawne still looks 6'3 range

Merriman could have been wearing these shoes for his measurement.

They give an insane full 2 inches of height.

Stallone has been a fan of the Interactives, I am sure he measured 5ft 11 in them.

@Viper: I remember. I think 6’3 for him today still

I will say Nationals Daniel Hudson looks a very legit 6-3.

Yes. Strasburg use to be listed at 6-4.

Even these pitchers who look their listed heights are actually an inch shorter.
Every 6-4 listed pitcher is 6-3 it seems.

@Viper: not surprising. How tall would you say Strasburg is? I’d say 6’3 range

I can givee Public Enemy my whole history since puberty If he wants, lol.
I was 6-0 in high school and was 6-1 by senior year. I eventually grew 2 inches from 18 to early 20s. I was a late bloomer. I looked my age or a tad younger. Where I was really behind was my weight. I only weighed an insane 120 pounds at one point early on in high school. Just a natural slender ectomorph. But people guessed me at 140 at least. I certainly looked a lot bigger than my weight.
Hard to believe I've gained over 70 pounds since then.
viper said on 18/Oct/19
If I was under 6-0 at my current weight of 195 I could be a running back.
I clearly do no have running back mass :)

Sometimes I'll feel a little taller than someone my height, then a little shorter with somebody like Dawson.

Agreed public Enemy.
I'm actually a foot shorter at 5-3 :)

@Viper: Titus looks Vernon davis’s Height. I’d say he’s about 6’3”
Canson said on 17/Oct/19
@Public Enemy: there’s no proof he isn’t 6’3” but then again just like anyone else here no proof he has met Merriman. Although I tend to believe Viper because his story has been consistent each time and LaRon Profit I know as well is 6’4” talking to people who have met him
Canson said on 16/Oct/19
@Viper: something to remember with Smith is that he is older so he may have lost height and he may not have measured that at a low. Meaning maybe just 6’3”. And maybe he’s lost half inch at that age. You’re a solid 6’3” so he could be 1/2” or a centimeter shorter
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 16/Oct/19

I've met basketballer Phil Ford a few times and he isn't taller than 5-11, sometimes only looks 5-10.
A couple of coaches in the newspaper archives called him 5-11. Supposedly was measured at 5-11 3/4.
He's listed at an insane 6-2

I've been a foot away from basketballer Laron Profit and he looked 6-4. I was surprised. Always thought he was his legit listing of 6-5.
I later found out he was listed at 6-4 before draft.

I met 6-3 1/4 Bruce Smith recently and actually felt a little taller.
Met 6-3 Lin Dawson and felt a little shorter. Lin looked more 6-3.5
I've met NFL Hall of famer Rickey Jackson and he was measured at 6-1. He can look 186-187cm.
I was 2 feet away from Justin Verlander and he was my height of 6-3.
I met Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers and he looked 6-1.5-6-2, exactly like Merriman. He was measured at
6-1 3/4 when I was looking for a measurement of his so I was exactly right there.

@Christian: Viper just mentioned within the last year tho about 6’2.75 being his low. He had always mentioned 6’3” before. He said he usually maintains 6’3” but dips to a bit under some days. I also asked him once how much shorter Merriman was than him and he said over an inch. Viper guessed 6’1.5-6’2” range. Now I think maybe Merriman is a solid 6’2” worst case and best case he could be 6’2-6’2.5”. I’m thinking posture may have been a factor when he saw him
@Viper: I’ve seen West listed at 6’3” too. 6’2” range was def his barefoot height and prob a bit over.

If Viper's 6'3" at his usual low and not 6'2.75", then that means he could've lowballed Merriman a bit when he met him, by guessing him at 6'2". He could've been more like 6'2.25"

@Viper: it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these athletes get 10 hours of sleep the night before a combine and even then they may stretch or lay down before. I’ve heard stories about some being carried inside etc. that’s all bolstered by the Al Pacino comment one NBA player made this week life is about inches. They know being taller is beneficial
Canson said on 5/Oct/19
@Christian: come to think of it I did get around 196.2 out of bed once on extended sleep but that was when I had longer hair I believe. My norm out of bed then I think was 195.8/.9. I may try it with 24 hours sleep one day.
Canson said on 5/Oct/19
@Viper: that makes more sense if 6’3 1/8 is your midday which you mentioned once. 6’3 flat would be your normal low. My midday is prob 6’4 3/8 5 hours out of bed but 6’4.25 is my normal low and 6’4” my extreme low. If you are usually 6’3, then 6’4 out of bed on extended sleep would be feasible. But I thought 6’2.75 was your norm. It’s not if that’s the case. You’re 6’3” flat
Canson said on 5/Oct/19
@Christian: I may have lost height tho because I used to be 193.9/194 at a low or maybe it was hair. My out of bed was higher then too. Speaking of hair Zion measured 6’6” morning. He’s not more than 6’5” maybe 6’5.25

@Canson
Even at my highest, I was never over 198.6. That means it's no more than around a 1/8" increase, since my typical high is 198.3. That was after a 10-11 hour sleep I believe, compared to my typical 7 hours. Even if I spent in bed lying for 24 hours though, I probably wouldn't get any higher than 199.3
viper said on 4/Oct/19
6-2.75 is an extreme low for me
viper said on 4/Oct/19
Devin Bush measuring 5-11 is a huge joke.
Doesn't look taller than 5-9, and can look as short as 5-8
viper said on 4/Oct/19
I truly measured 6-4 out of bed after 24 hours.
I was surprised. I did feel super tall
Canson said on 4/Oct/19
@Christian: I stand corrected. I think I got 196.1 or .2 before but that was likely when I measured a couple mm taller. Normal ranges from 195.5 (less sleep) to 195.9 (my max these days on very good sleep).
TheBat said on 4/Oct/19
Honestly Merriman's realistically like 6'2" to 6'2.5" max. Sometimes can look like a strong 6'1"
Canson said on 3/Oct/19
@Christian: yea the 6’2.75 may be his extreme low. He mentioned 6’4-6’4 1/8” but that’s high even if his morning is 6’3.75 normally. I’ve never measured 1/4” higher let alone 3/8”. Once I think it was 1/8” higher (196 out of bed is the max I’ve seen) and that was on lots of sleep and still got to 193.8 that day

You shouldn't be measuring at 6'4 1/8", if your usual morning is 6'3.5" (which I assume since you're 6'2.75" at your low). It's weird that anyone would measure 5/8" taller than their usual morning height, just because they lied in bed for a day. Maybe your usual morning is 6'3.75" then. 3/8" makes more sense than 5/8".

@Christian: you’re probably right. Average is prob 6’1-6’2” in reality. After what Viper pointed out, I openly question the measurements for some of these other players. If a guy got “measured” 6’2.5” and is listed 6’1”. That’s not the first time either

Is the average NFL QB that tall? 6'2"-6'3" may be the average listed height, but probably not the average combine measured height. And even then, it's not quite accurate since combine takes place very early in the day.
viper said on 19/Sep/19
Maybe it was a measuring mistake at the senior bowl, and he didn't measure at the combine and they kept that figure?

@Questioner
It's nearly impossible that Merriman loses 3cm in a day. I doubt even 2.5cm tbh, as most guys even his height range (6'2"-6'4" depending on where you put him at) don't lose 2.5cm. Even if somehow he were to lose 3cm, the 2 inch disparity between the measurements makes no sense at all. He would've had to lose at least 4-5cm daily if that was the case. Simply wearing 3 layers of socks,
Busting a Gut and stretching don't cut it.
Andrea said on 10/Sep/19
"Questioner said on 7/Sep/19
@canson @christian merriam seems to have short legs and a long torso meaning he could have a lot of height loss (3cm imo) I wonder if he quadruple socked, busted a gut, and measured straight out of bed with stretching to get the 6'4 & 3/8 measurment and then he measured in a single sock at an extreme low on a bad day to get the 6'2 3/8 and 5 measurements there is the possibility both those measurments were legit even if neither is his legit height and hes about 6'3" or weak 6'3" in reality one thing im confident on is he isnt approaching 6'4" like andrea is saying nor is he 187... like vipers saying."

@Questioner: an inch seems a lot for Merriman to lose in a day let alone 3cm loss. But the socks are something he’s said before or at least joked about. Now Viper guesses weak 6’2” in person but I don’t necessarily see that low. However there are pics where he actually does look that low.

@Christian: And I bet if Kyler Murray is ever added that he is overlisted initially too. He may get 5’9.5 or something like that even though he looks shorter. Then a guy like Isaiah Thomas is listed 5’8.5 since he claimed 5’8” when in reality he looks max 5’8”
Next to other players. Just means that all pre drafts aren’t always accurate (although I’m sure many are at the time of day they’re taken)
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 5/Sep/19
@Canson
Yeah, if it wasn't for the 6'4 3/8" "measurement", I know that Rob would've downgraded Merriman lower by now.
Canson said on 4/Sep/19
@Christian: although we all estimated a 3.5-4” difference, even Rob said that the difference looked 3” between he and Martellus Bennett. Yet the measurements for the two don’t add up. While it looks more than that, it still Means that 6’3.5 is high. Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 and 6’5 3/4”. Even using the higher measurement for Bennett, Merriman is still overlisted. I don’t know of anyone who can honestly say that that is significantly less than a 3” difference and Bennett would come out, by the site’s standards, to 6’5.75 maximum assuming that’s even a low for him and not 6’5 1/2 or 5/8”. think 6’3” would be a better start for him even just based on what Rob said and using just a middle of the road of 6’6” for Bennett. He likely used 6’3.5” due to the “supposed” measurement he got from the nurse of 6’4 1/2”.

@Viper: 6’1.5-6’2” while possible seems too low imho. But there is a 4” diff in the video so that is why I leave that door open. You hit it on the head though. The Pro Day was only 6’2 3/8” so usually a players combine measurement would be higher than that or right around the same. It’s possible he knew what he was doing and it was an early measurement or he laid down before to preserve height. But 6’4 3/8 is plain ridiculous. I would believe the 6’2 3/8 to be his real combine measurement too. He would likely come down to no more than 6’2 at that stage which is why the difference looked up to 4” between he and Bennett. A guy at 6’2 3/8 early morning (1 hour or so awake) could even come down as low as 6’1 7/8 normally and in extreme cases 6’1 5/8”. He also joked about wearing extra socks at the combine remember

@Junior: nobody else on this site has met Merriman in person and stood with him except Viper. Only one other saw him on the field and he based it off a listed height for someone else. Now I saw him too but wasn’t close enough to him. I was over a hundred feet away. Personally I didn’t really give it any thought and figured 6’3 or 6’4 because I didn’t really watch and I was a bit tipsy at the game lol. But my friend who met him also guessed him 6’2 range. So did Rudy Gay who played Ball with him. Merrriman was listed at 6’4” in high school. He got his listing at the camp because he was intended to be a lineman and would be too small at 6’2. But You also cannot call someone “reasonable” just because you agree with that person and not Viper. That isn’t fair

Yes, but no one with a straight face can say that Merriman and Colin would've looked roughly the same height.
Editor Rob
Camera angles can throw heights around as we know, it is a shame they never stood the same position with the interviewer.
viper said on 16/Aug/19
Rob, Merriman looks similar in height to 6-1 race car driver Ryan Hunter.
Great video showing Merriman is no more than 6-2.
Canson said on 16/Aug/19
@Viper: the video is no good because of the angles. Honestly John Salley doesn’t look but a few inches taller (at times) than Kapernick and Merriman
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 16/Aug/19
Click Here Drew Brees 5'10? Merriman is standing behind incase some people don't see the differences. Some people met him in real did not see him stand straight and keep calling him 6'2 or less and some reasonable guy came in say he is 6'3-6'3 1/2 in person.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 16/Aug/19
@Viper
Merriman had a significant disadvantage compared to Kapernick in that clip, but I agree that Kap still seemed a lot taller. Maybe by 1.5" at least.
viper said on 15/Aug/19
Going by that video Kaepernick would have 3 inches on Merriman.
Editor Rob
Isn't Merriman behind the guy, whilst Colin is side by side and closer at times.

@Cmillzz
So do I, I just can't see him at only a weak 6'2", despite how much the 6'3.5" listing here is BS. I don't think he's a weak 6'2" but he has a better chance of being that than 6'3.5"
Canson said on 14/Aug/19
@Cmillz: I would think stronger over weaker but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised based on how he looked in the video. I’d be more surprised if he really is 6’3” or more in bare feet
Mickie said on 14/Aug/19
Out of all celebs with at least 50 user votes, Merriman has to have one of the largest descrepencies between average guess and Rob's listing.
Editor Rob
do bear in mind there may be a few junk/multiple votes on there.
Importer said on 14/Aug/19
@viper if Jake is about 180cm I’d say Merriman is about 190cm. He was described 6’2” range and bumped to 6’3” in college so that implies a 189cm figure. You met him viper and he looked 6’2” to you, perhaps taking his eye-level into account ( which does look above average ) he can very well be 189cm. Since you’re 191cm (6’3 1/8”) with an average eye-level (I assume) Merriman looked an inch shorter than you from your pov. I think everybody agrees he’s 1inch over-listed at this point.

I’d still place better odds on Merriman being a strong 6’2 rather than a weak 6’2 though.

It's called camera advantage, Christian. Not weird at all.
Canson said on 5/Aug/19
@Christian: that’s the problem. People don’t look at that as telling the truth they see it as trying to make someone shorter. It’s sad to say but in many cases where you’re honest about your height, you’re considered (guilty) “taller than that” until actually measured with a tape measure (proven innocent) or unless enough honest people are around to bolster. And not just honest, sometimes it takes someone who measured at a low to do so
Canson said on 5/Aug/19
@Christian: and Merriman didn’t challenge him when he said that about him only being 6’2”. Remember the video where Merriman spoke with the high school players that Viper posted recently? He went out of his way to say he was 6’5” and said it multiple times like he was trying to convince himself that he was.

Canson I dont see how Dwayne would be taller than Steven Jackson there. Same height at most
Roderick said on 31/Jul/19
He does look no taller than 6'2", even 6'1" range at times. I find it absolutely hilarious how he went as far as trying to prove it by recording a video of him being measured by a stadiometer. His head looked so wobbly and so unstable it looked as if it was obviously fudged. Could have easily went to the nurse and said, "Hey, I'm really 6'2", but the whole world thinks I'm 6'5", can you do me a favor?" LOL.
@viper Billy Gunn and
Mark Henry are the only wrestlers I can think of that got billed at their actual heights. Billy Gunn actually has been billed at 6'3" before, and
Mark Henry at 6'1" in 2011 I think.

6’2.25 or .5 is the absolute max I could buy for Merriman, The Bat. Agreed
Canson said on 30/Jul/19
@Viper: not sure but Merriman May even have a slight footwear advantage. Maybe 1/4” but it may be the same as well
Canson said on 30/Jul/19
@Roderick: if the 6’4 3/8 were correct, his low would be more along the lines of 6’4 or 6’3 7/8. He would probably get a CH listing, if not taking into account the combine, of 6’4 or 6’4 1/8. But Merriman is clearly not that tall. Viper has provided a bunch of examples of that now. Martellus Bennett is 6’5.75 later in the day and was close to 4” taller. Luke Walton also dwarfed him and Luke looks shorter than Lebron does at times
Canson said on 30/Jul/19
@Viper: I seriously have doubts about Walton even being that tall. Maybe 6’7”. Look at him with Kobe or Magic or Lebron. Lebron and Magic both can look taller at times and Kobe looks about 2” shorter that’s it. Merriman is not even close to 6’3.5 there. Them listing a 6’7.75 guy at 6’8 (while not rare), nowadays does raise some eyebrows. Generally that would be 6’9” listing.
TheBat said on 29/Jul/19
Man Merriman's just like The Rock, both 6'2.25" or 6'2.5" guys claiming 6'5". What a joke.

He only looks 6'2" max which is the funny part.

I don't know a lot about Shawns height.
If he was measured at 6'4 38", then his real height would be around 6'3.5".

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 26/Jul/19
@Viper
Seth Rollins' billing is accurate or at least pretty close to being accurate. But I don't know of any other WWE wrestler like that. You can argue Cena's 6'1" billing but I believe he's more 6'0" than the 6'0.5" listing by Rob. Jinder Mahal's billed 6'5" and listed 6'4.5" by Rob but I disagree with that. More like 6'3.5" IMO.
viper said on 25/Jul/19
In Ford's defense he looks 6'1 minimum next to 5'10ish Reggie Bush.
But what WWE wrestler is their billing? Not even Randy Orton and hes the closest one.
Ford might be just 6'0.5, like 6'3.5 for Randy.
Merriman is just then 6'1.5 there
viper said on 25/Jul/19
I strongly disagree Canson. Even If Rock straightens up hes no taller than 6'1 Jackson there
viper said on 25/Jul/19
I see a good inch between Merriman and Ford the more I look at it.
Even then, is Ford really 6-1?
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 24/Jul/19
@Viper
Not to mention, 6'1" billed wrestler Montez Ford isn't that much shorter than Merriman in this pic. If Merriman was really the 6'3.5" that he's listed here, that would put Ford at around 6'3", lol.

Canson said on 24/Jul/19
@Christian: that’s most likely what it was that I was standing. But the guy was also somewhat insecure saying he felt short at 5’10” insisting he wishes he were taller and saying it’s a “compliment” or a good thing if you look taller. It’s cool but still. I don’t view saying someone looks taller or shorter than they are as a compliment or an insult. Better yet telling someone definitively that they aren’t a certain height whether taller or shorter is just a matter of fact. Nothing more or less. Unfortunately though, people get offended when you tell them (whether they are telling the truth in the first place or not), that they aren’t as tall as claimed. Yet they expect you to lie and they think saying someone or telling them to their face that they’re taller than they are is complimentary or “less offensive”. I even heard someone say once when I told them that they were never the height he claimed that it’s not right to try to make someone shorter. This guy claims to have lost height. I met him in his prime and he was always 1-2” shorter than his claim. I told him well you telling someone they’re taller is ok? He said at least I’m not making someone shorter. He at least accepts now that he is not as tall as he claimed

Both Rock and Merriman are 6-2 in reality. Merriman measured 6-2 at his pro day

@Junior: Merriman does not have 1.25” on Rock. And as far as barkley measuring 6’4 5/8, I don’t get why they would make up and get so specific trying to make up a figure for him. That’s what he measured so he wouldn’t have been taller on his prime. Only debate is was he shorter at a low. He looked around that peak. Merriman while I do not think he’s 187 I think 189 range is a best case for him. Barkley also was not in his prime when he took the picture with him. So no guarantee he is or was still 6’4 5/8 then

How is Merriman being only 6'2 when he easily edge out over 1.25" taller than "6'2" The Rock? How about The Rock is only 185.5cm barefoot all the time? 6'2.5" in boots and 6'2 in sneakers?

Barkley at 6’4.5, Merriman doesn’t look anything above 6’2-6’3 tops in the pic and that’s because merriman isn’t standing straight so accounting for poor posture of his

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 21/Jul/19
@Canson
Someone guessing you at nearly 7'0" is just insane. I've been guessed at 7'0" once but it was by a child who didn't know better. You mentioned that you were guessed 7'0" by a drunk woman before right?
Canson said on 20/Jul/19
@Viper: Rock did the video with that kid where he said he was 6’4 1/2 and he was trying to talk up the kid’s height. That’s not that much different from Merriman. I don’t get why people do that. Nobody “earns” their height. It is purely genetics and it’s not like telling someone that they’ve been successful in their life or that they carry themselves well or commenting on their appearance. I had someone tell me that a few weeks ago when they thought I was taller close to 7’ than I was when they were sitting down. They said well that’s a compliment that you look taller? The guy was 5’10” too but admitted he wished he were taller. But I’ve been saying that all along that being taller is wishful. Sure there are benefits to it but it is no more of a benefit that you have outside of sports at about 6’3” that someone else who is 5’10” or 5’11 or 6’0” would have. In fact you probably fare better than someone substantially taller than yourself like 6’7” etc as you don’t have the doorways and other issues such as clothing vehicle airplane and all the other details that involve legroom that someone those types of extremely tall heights would.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 20/Jul/19

6-2 is the most I can give seeing him up close with good posture.
I met a guy the other day who I thought was my height from a good distance. Then when I came up to him and talked to him he was a good 6-4. His overall chunky size and massive head made him look shorter from a distance.
Canson said on 27/Jun/19
@Cmillz: agreed but the video with Bennett does show potentially under 6’2

6’2.5” is the most he is imo. I highly doubt he’s under 6’2.
Canson said on 23/Jun/19
@Viper: Rob isn’t going to downgrade him any lower than he already is, short of Merriman coming out himself and admitting his true height which he won’t do after going out of his way to make the video he made. It’s unfortunate because you just provided another really good piece of evidence along with the video with Martellus Bennett who also has a 6’5.75 measurement where Rob even admitted that while he didn’t see 4” but also didn’t say it’s as low as 2-2.25. He just said he sees 3” or less. It’s obvious that it’s more than just 2.25 or 2.5”. The only ones who would say that it’s that low of a difference are those who would support Merriman staying 6’4 or 6’3.5 on this site
viper said on 22/Jun/19

Compared to you Andrea, yes
But that's a low bar to be honest. Everyone is better than you.

@Viper: yea he’s clearly taller than Merriman by a couple inches. Don’t understand why he’s still listed at that

Yeah, viper. And you are a very reasonable and reliable poster with a lot of knowledge about height, who is right most of the time, right? :-)
