Have to keep in mind that Merriman’s posture isn’t always the best, so he may appear shorter than he actually is in pictures and videos. I doubt 6’3, but a bit over 6’2 is definitely possible, and maximum I can buy is 6’2.5”
But I can also believe just a flat 6’2 as well.

I’m not 100% sure about the height difference between Merriman and Bennett in that video. Minimum would be 3” maximum would be 4” so I’ll go with 3.5”
That would put Merriman at most 6’2.5” and very well could be closer to 6’2.25”

@Viper: Junior is a very respectful and respectable poster which surprises me that he would say that someone not liking someone would cause them to say they’re not as tall as listed or as they are

That clip with Will Ferrell should bury anything under flat 6'3", unless Will is standing in a hole ofc.

@Junior: but How can we say that Viper hates Merriman all because he estimates him less than Rob? That doesn’t have anything to do with it. Viper claims to have met him and that’s what he saw him as in person. To be fair to Viper, the video with Martellus Bennett clearly shows around 4” with him and Bennett measured 6’5.75 at his pro day (6’6 1/8 at the combine). That is not less than a 3” difference if camera angle is a factor. It’s more than 3” it’s closer to 4”.

Both Merriman and Larry are weak 6-2 guys for all intents and purposes.
6-3.25 for him is pure nonsense.
If he was that he would have looked a hell of a lot taller up close. He would have looked as tall as 6-3.25 Bruce Smith which he certainly didn't.
I've seen the man up close and you havnt

Merriman measuring 6-4 at the doctor means nothing. NBA players measure 2 inches taller than their barefoot height all the time. Sometimes over 2 inches.
And Larry English is a 6-1.5 guy.
The 6-2.1 was very early in the morning and 6-2.1 measured combine-pro day guys often measure 6-1.5 at the senior bowl.
6-2 Merriman just barely edges him out

Best evidence we have by far is Merriman barefoot looking 6-1.5-6-2. He measured 6-2.
It proves how accurate I am seeing him up close looking 6-1.5-6-2

Junior I like Merriman since he played for my college team.
I'm realistic about his height though.
He measured 6-2 at his pro day and looked 6-1.5-6-2 with good posture up close. I'm taller than him at 6-3.
So the 6-3 for him is very, very fake news

Merriman looks 6-0 with 5-8 Soulja Boy.
Click Here Picture is tilt down couples of inches from Merriman side to make you think he look 6'0.
Click Here its not weird at all. 6'2.5" Will Ferrell is truely look at least 2cm shorter.
Click Here Manny Pacquiao is 5'5.5" (166.4) worst a bit weak of 166cm and Merriman look 9" taller with his head tilt down for Manny in picture. You have ridiculously counting Manny hair up his mid mouth level and say he look 6'1. Manny hair is not thin at all and it's at least full inch high up still look 8" shorter.
Click Here 5'11 Fabolous had a few inches advantages closer to the camera, please look carefully at the size and angle of Fabolous head and obviously Merriman standing further behind.
Click Here I have no idea who is the tall guy but he is max big 3" taller from eye to eye level and much closer to camera than Merriman and you can imagine swap position standing that would make Merriman would be looking an inch shorter. Truth is the tall guy probably had 2-2.5" max dead on.
Click Here 5'10.4 Johnson is much closer facing front to camera that could add up several inch taller illusion making him 6'0.
Click Here Look carefully that is 4cm top from both their head differences. Larry English is 6'2 and tilt up his head making eye level higher still look 4cm shorter.
No obligation to you but i don't feel that the reason hating a person and have to downgrade him a few inches lower. I know Shawne Merriman is not a lovable guy but there isn't chances he is under 6'3.25" if he get a 6'4 3/8 height from stadiometer and that obviously came out with footwear in it. Remember someone posted a better comparison picture of 6'2.25" The rock had a 2" shorter than him. That picture tells almost all the 6'2 myth.

@Viper: wouldn’t surprise me if Winston ended up closer to 6’3” than 6’4” at a low. He was only 6’3.75 at the combine prob an hour after waking. 6’3 3/8 is the most I see but that qualifies him as 6’3 1/2

@Viper: I do agree that a full 6’3” is not likely for Merriman. However I feel that him being listed 6’3” on this site is a much better start. He’s obviously not 6’3.5. But I disagree however on 6’2” not being possible. A full 6’2” is possible for him and even maybe a hair over next to Bennett. That could be 3.5” between them but I doubt less than that and anywhere from 3.5-4” is possible for the difference

@Viper: the funny part is you’re going to hear about it with this pic when all of the other ones with the two of them aren’t that good especially with Davis having a clear posture issue in one of them. I will say that we can’t see footwear etc but at the same time seeing Davis next to Ladanian Tomlinson versus Merriman next to him it’s clear that Davis is taller. That is just further supported by the video with Bennett and Merriman

If Bennett only measures 6’5.75 at s low which had been proven then its hard to imagine Merriman even hitting 6’3”. That’s absolutely nothing less than 3” if the camera really is favoring bennett. It really looks 4” or close to it

I can see Merriman being this listing max, anything 6'3"-6'3.5" when standing well. Thnx to viper for the keanu reeves and chris pratt pics. He looks 3" on a solid 6' guy and 2" on a very strong 6'1" guy.
I just can't see 6'2" max he looks taller than Dwayne Johnson does next to Austin and Pratt. A weak 6'3" at the very minimum.

Well, Johan, if Austin got measured 6'1.5 in shoes, it would make perfect sense that Shawne got measured 6'4.5 in shoes as well, yeah (at least based on that photo)...
As for that clip with Bennett, I agree that it's hard to imagine Shawne much over 6'3 there, BUT then again, the camera position clearly favors Bennett, which makes it pretty much inconclusive, to say the least.

Thats actually a decent pic, if he was a bit straighter he would have 3" on Keanu. He actually looks similar to how Steve Austin looked with him.
I think Keanu is listed 6'0.5" but maybe lost a small fraction? Hard to say but not under 6' anyway.

@Andrea
Yes Steve Austin has been guessed by Vegas, Alex among others as being 6 ft in person but Rob has him listed at 6'1 1/4 because he came out with a 6'1.1/2 measurement claim.
I think its more likely it was with shoes as he doesn't look that tall and that would mean that Shawne is 6'4.1/2.
Logically Steve would be between 6'-6'0.5" and Shawne 6'3-6'3.5" imo. Maybe he is a guy who hits 6'3.25" with good posture but I just don't see him higher he did look 3 inches shorter than that 6'6" guy.

@Viper: Merriman is not taller than Davis. In one of the pics posted on this page Davis isn’t standing straight which is why he appears taller. Davis is around 6’3”. But I agree with Johan that 6’3 is a good listing but only because of where Rob started him. He’s nowhere near 6’4” and that video all but rules out 6’3 imho

Johan, the thing about his nurse measurement is that that pretty much matches up with what he supposedly measured at the draft (6'4 3/8). I agree that it's quite possible he was in shoes there, but surely he couldn't have been at the draft? Hmm...
Anyway, regardless of all that, I'm still not sure he's just as low as 6'3. Bear in mind this how he looks with (just to name a few):
- 6'3 2/8 measured Vernon Davis: Click Here Click Here
- 6'3 4/8 measured Nick Hardwick: Click Here
- 6'3 1/8 measured Shaun Philips: Click Here
As for Steve Austin, I don't really know him (except by name), so I can't tell how tall he could be (although if viper says he's 5'11, then I guess he's got to be at least 6-6'1 😊), but yeah, he does look about 3 inches shorter than Shawne in this pic: Click Here

@Viper: yea Campbell was 6’7.75 combine so 6’7.25 perhaps but he makes Merrriman look no more than about 6’3”. I think 6’2” range but Rob should lower him to 6’3” max. You’re 6’2.75, did Smith look the same height or was he shorter than you? Or taller?

@Viper: being that was a combine measurement for Bruce it’s possible he’s a little less but he’s also possibly lost height. A peak 6’3” I could see for him even if it’s 6’3” flat. May also be posture since he’s older

@Andrea
I hadn't looked too much at this guy but it does seem that a 6'3" listing is far more likely than both 6'2.5" or 6'3.5". Unless ofc he is keeping some extra height back but next to Steve Austin for instance on his Instagram he had very good posture. It all depends how tall Steve really is today. My money is on 6'0.5" as he came out with a 6'1.5" claim lately ( in shoes we can assume like this guy). You could argue this listing based on that but maybe Steve is closer to 6' in reality and rounded.
It did look 3 inches difference

@Rob: the NFL isn’t going to get back to you about that lol. As for his height, seeing the video with Martellus Bennett and how Merriman is only up to his eyebrows there is no possible way that he was a barefoot 6’4 3/8 at any time in the day if Bennett measured 6’5.75 and 6’6 1/8”. Even if what you and Johan said is true about camera advantage it’s still more than just a 2.25 or 2.5” difference between the two. Maybe it’s 3” but Assuming Bennett is listed on this site (if you were to add him) at 6’6 1/8 since that’s his combine listing, Merriman really shouldn’t be listed above 6’3 even though his Pro Day was 6’2 3/8”. I certainly agree with Johan saying he doesn’t look his claim. And I do think that the solid 6’3” is a better listing than 6’3.5”

There are actually some athletes who measure 2cm taller. An example is Lamont Jordan from Maryland who was 5’10.25 at the combine and 5’9.5 the other time he measured at his Pro Day. But in the end everything here is opinion based

@Christian: the most I could buy for Merriman is 6’2.5 but even that’s a stretch given he measured 6’2 3/8 at the Pro Day. His Pro Day measurement is beginning to look like it was his actual measurement (not the combine measurement) and seemingly is close to a low for him as he looks around 6’2.25 in that pic if we go with 3.5 or what Viper saw him at in person is how he would look if that’s 4”. I just don’t see 6’1.5-6’2” but to be fair Viper has been right a lot more often than people give him credit for and he does not look as tall as Vernon Davis does in pics. Davis while looking 6’3” in person I wouldn’t say is less than prob 6’2 7/8 but quite possibly could still be the full 6’3”. One thing to remember about Merriman is that he was initially slated to be a DE not a linebacker. So like Viper said gentleman’s agreement is a possibility as 6’2” or 6’2 1/2” is borderline undersized whereas close to 6’4 1/2 is very good size and 6’4” still very good size for a DE. I also don’t rule that out as I don’t believe Drew Brees’s measurement nor do I believe Kyler Murray’s

@Johan185: he did measure 6’2 3/8 before at his Pro Day and 6’2 range another time and was listed 6’3” in college. He wasn’t listed 6’4 until the Pros when he was expected to be a defensive end before ending up as a linebacker. Looking back he didn’t look any bigger on the field than some of the other 6’2 range linebackers. But That actually lines up with the video as Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 and 6’5 3/4. No telling if Merriman’s were more in line with Bennett’s earlier measurement which could easily make him something like 6’2” flat at a low. I also measure 3/8” above my normal afternoon low if I do it an hour out of bed and 3/8” below my out of bed height. I lose around .75 up to 2cm in a day. If anything I would say that 6’4 3/8 is the measurement that I would challenge. As for Rock, I wouldn’t put it completely out of the question for Merriman to be closer to 6’3” but he looked the same size as 6’2 Rock

3" is just a bit too low. Merriman only reaches to Bennett's eyebrows like Canson said. The average eyebrow level is around 3.5", and obviously a guy like Bennett's is longer since he has a bigger head than average. That's 3.5" at the absolute minimum.

-----------
Like I said that clip is difficult because of camera position and distance from the camera. During the bagwork it looked alot less but its not really a good piece of evidence as at no point are they both totally straight next to one another. Logically speaking that would mean that Merriman is 6'2" max and so no measurement to this date was accurate. What is more likely? That the measurements were all wrong and other evidence as well or that this one clip was correct?
I have seen this guy look clear 3 inches over Steve Austin ( Stone cold) and an easy inch on Dwayne Johnson. It just doesn't seem possible that he could be just 6'2".

@Viper: I’d say so. He doesn’t look anything remotely close to 5’10”. I wouldn’t be surprised if 5’9 or a hair over in the morning really. I used to believe 5’9” and change but it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s sub 5’9” really at a low

@Viper: you have players in the NBA that are probably 6’5” and change at a low around Christian’s size that are listed at 6’8” such as Jimmy Butler. I can’t see him any taller if even As tall as Christian. He doesn’t even strike me as close to 6’6” but closer to 6’5”. Next to Derrick Rose and then Scottie Pippen was a good bit taller than him. So a 6’6+ in shoes is listed 6’8”. Then Tobias Harris is more like a solid 6’6” and he’s listed 6’9”. 6’6.5 morning height which may or may not have been rounded up. So a 6’7”+ with shoes maybe even barely over 6’7” is listed 6’9”. And he may even dip under the 6’6” mark barefoot by a hair at least it’s possible, but to me he looks a legit 6’6”. So a 6’2” flat guy being listed 6’4 or measuring close to 6’4” in shoes earlier in the day isn’t surprising at all I agree. They may be more like 6’3.5-.75 with shoes morning and only be 6’3-6’3.25 in sneaks in the evening and a solid 6’2”. I think an athlete should be listed barefoot. It’s not like they’re fooling anyone as coaches and others know at least have a general idea of how tall they actually are barefoot even if it were a morning height

@Christian: I probably didn’t clarify enough too. I was saying that with less evidence in Merriman’s case. Not so much less but because of the ambiguity. Trust me, I agree with you and Viper 100% as I always have. Merriman could appear shorter than his listing for sure and taller in some pics but the video is the best piece of evidence. And I’m of the belief that he’s 6’2” range like most here. What I was trying to say was that Rob doesn’t have as much evidence (at least he thinks that he doesn’t have it) with Merriman whereas Trump he does. But I do agree with what you said and it’s not likely he would get sued at all with either guy. In fact Merriman was listing of 6’2” and 6’2 3/8 I think listing him 6’2” range would be perfectly suitable. I stopped fighting it on this page as it’s likely not going to go down much more. 6’3.5 is still way too much for him next to Martellus Bennett. That’s more than 2.25” or even 2 5/8” going off a morning height. That’s minimum 3” and really is over 3”. That’s clear as day that it’s not less than 3”. Since we’ve seen a measurement for Merriman in the 6’2” range and one for Bennett at 6’5.75, I think 6’3” flat would’ve been a lot better than 6’3.5 that he’s listed. While I believe 6’3” is still too much it’s not nearly as bad as 6’3.5 or 6’4” which we can safely rule out

I still get hate mail about that one from people who think I’m disseminating misinformation, and the comments section is nuts.

Look at this. Ed Oliver supposedly measured 6-1.7 at the combine.

Looks much more realistic. He doesn't look anywhere close to 6-2.

And Tebow's posture is a bit worse there imo. And still the difference is not large.

Hard to tell what the true difference is between Merriman and Bennett in that video, it can look a nearly 4 inch difference at times. I will say though that physically, Bennett looks much taller than Merriman.

@Canson
There are countless examples of celebrities who lied about their height and Rob listed them way shorter than their claims. Look at the Rock for example. He claims 6'5" but Rob lists him at 6'2.5" and it isn't a problem at all. No liability, no anything. Even Trump, who claimed 6'3" and was officially "measured" at 6'3" by his doctor, but Rob lists him at 6'0.5", yet Rob isn't in trouble. If Rob can get away with doing that to the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world, then certainly Rob can get away with doing the same thing to a retired football player like Merriman.

Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 at the combine then 6’5.75 at a different time (Viper posted that measurement)

@viper Rob wouldn't gain anything by wanting to make him taller. At the end of the day it is his site so he wouldn't blatantly inflate people.

@Rob: I think listing him at the flat 6’3” would’ve been better. It’s still too high but at least it’s closer to his actual height and is something that could be down voted or up voted to hit both extremes.

Editor RobMerriman is quite interesting because of the inconsistencies in what has been published for his height. He doubled down on the premise he is 6ft 4 range with that video.
Is he a height frauder? Did the NFL give him 2 extra inches on purpose? If that were the case, then it means the NFL's reputation for reporting actual measured heights from the combine is called into question.

Sure I don’t agree with him on the topic of Merriman’s height, either, but I respect his views. I agree with you on Merriman’s height but I wouldn’t go and say that Rob has an agenda or that he’s making excuses because that is simply speculation and is not fair to Rob as he is actually the most objective person here on this site. He’s never exhibited any behavior to suggest otherwise. Nothing suggests that he has a hidden agenda. He has a delicate balance as he has to consider the potential risks of liability and protecting the site and posters, as well as trying to be as accurate as possible.

Almost like he has an agenda to make Shawne taller.

When it was found out LT measured 6-2 he listed him as that. When it was found out Shannon Sharpe was measured at 6-1, instantly changed to 6-1.

Editor RobWell you posted a couple of photos with Shawne at a disadvantage, I'm simply offering an explanation.
In the same way I could say With Tim maybe even though they are same distance, Shawne might have road advantage and gaining a couple of inches over Tim.

@Rob: in the video with Martellus Bennett the two are right in front of one another. In that case, it’s still at absolute worst a 3” difference. Rising Viper Christian and I saw 3.5 or 4 whereas you saw 3” max but it honestly looks minimum 3” not max. I could buy 3” as a possibility though

@Rob: Viper’s pics with Omar Benson aren’t simply because of the angle. Merriman also looked several inches shorter than 6’5.1 Nelson Rosario. Rosario was a morning measurement. But Merriman looked a lot shorter than 6’4.75 combine/ 6’4 3/8 Senior Bowl measured Vincent Jackson. There he looked at least 2” shorter than him. Then you factor how he looks with Drew Brees. It’s entirely possible Brees isn’t as tall as he’s listed. Many say he’s 5’11” then how he looks with 5’5.5 Darren Sproles and last but not least the video below with Martellus Bennett 6’6.1 and 6’5.75 are his two measurements on record. I’m not sure about 6’1.5-6’2” but He can look it with Bennett and look 6’2.5 other times as well

@Shane: well said and you hit every point very nicely and fluidly. Viper was saying that when he met him in person that he looked 6’1.5-6’2” and coincidentally that’s how he looked next to Martellus Bennett. Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 at the combine and then Viper brought up a team measurement with the cowboys where he was down at 6’5.75. but that’s believable because the combine is held around an hour out of bed so he would have already lost height by that stage. Bennett typically looks the size of someone like Anthony Joshua or maybe Gronk. At that stage, say if I measured 6’3.75 at a normal low as opposed to 6’4.25, I would still claim 6’4” or about despite maybe even coming down to 6’3.5 at an extreme low. I claim 6’4 in real life now but only because I round down since that’s what I’m closest to, although at an extreme low which I hit very rarely, I do come down to about a mm over 6’4 although I don’t usually consider that as much.
I’ve seen Merriman but wasn’t close enough to him to gauge it admittedly. In college he was listed 6’3 and pros 6’4”. Even seeing him in other pics, I still think that 6’1.5-6’2 is a bit low for him at times but he did look 4” shorter than Bennett at points in the video then 3.5 other times. Rob mentioned that 3” max is what he saw between he and Bennett. I have a hard time seeing less than that so I find him only going down to 6’3.5 as a bit odd even if using the 6’6 1/8 for Bennett. It really looks more than 3”. That’s closer to 4”. But I would probably go with 6’3 if Rob were accounting for that video. He has at times looked taller than 6’3” to what Rob is saying but doubt he is. Next to Drew Brees he looks 6’2” and change or 6’2”.
Below is the video of he and Bennett. The best parts of judging the height difference is when they were both punching the bag around 3:00 onward. Both are barefoot. I personally agree with your estimate. I have estimated 6’2-6’2.5 as well and I think the 6’2 3/8 was his actual measurement at the Pro Day. I think 6’2.5 would be the better listing here over 6’3 or 6’3.5 but 6’3” is even more reasonable since a lot of other guys get early morning listings too but theirs are at least barefoot (presumably). I think Merriman got the boost due to him being small for a Defensive End as Michael Sam also did. Sam is 6’1” at a low next to the Rock and Sam got measured early morning at his Senior Bowl at 6’1 5/8 and 6’2” at the combine. Viper and I both Doing comparisons senior bowl was early morning that year as well as the measurements were identical for most players to where they were for the combine. Also look at Carson Wentz a couple years back. His combine and senior Bowl were also identical and they mentioned for the senior bowl that he took his physical “this morning” the day he did it.

He has at times looked taller than 6’3” to what Rob is saying but doubt he is. Next to Drew Brees he looks 6’2” and change or 6’2”.
Below is the video of he and Bennett. The best parts of judging the height difference is when they were both punching the bag around 3:00 onward. Both are barefoot. I personally agree with your estimate. I have estimated 6’2-6’2.5 as well and I think the 6’2 3/8 was his actual measurement at the Pro Day. I think 6’2.5 would be the better listing here over 6’3 or 6’3.5 but 6’3” is even more reasonable since a lot of other guys get early morning listings too but theirs are at least barefoot (presumably). I think Merriman got the boost due to him being small for a Defensive End as Michael Sam also did. Sam is 6’1” at a low next to the Rock and Sam got measured early morning at his Senior Bowl at 6’1 5/8 and 6’2” at the combine. Viper and I both Doing comparisons senior bowl was early morning that year as well as the measurements were identical for most players to where they were for the combine. Also look at Carson Wentz a couple years back. His combine and senior Bowl were also identical and they mentioned for the senior bowl that he took his physical “this morning” the day he did it.

@Christian: looking at the angle and the possibility of Sproles having advantage that’s possible. I could’ve even seen a half inch less 6’2-6’2.5 as opposed to 6’2.5-6’3”. Either way Merriman is still way overlisted. My guess is that 6’2 3/8 is his actual measurement per The Pro Day. If that were a morning height it means he’s only 6’2” flat most likely. 6’2 3/8 was likely changed to 6’4 3/8

@Rob: what Christian is saying is correct though. The NFL does scree up and I’m sure that they do that on occasion. Viper already pointed this out before but I will again below. Look at Julian Peterson.

His combine measurement is 6’5 1/8 (6051) to be exact and the league has always listed him at 6’3”

@Rob I think it is basically zero chance Merriman would agree to a height measurement with you simply because guys that strongly claim shoe heights without admitting it is a shoe height really value their height. So he is a guy that isnt going to do this. No chance. As for his height, after looking at lots of data, this thread, photos etc it seems quite obvious he is right around his 6'2 4/10" pro day measurement and the combine at 2 inches higher was undoubtedly, no question in error. So I am saying using your afternoon height standard he is 6'2 1/4" range. 6'3" range out of bed.

@Viper where are you finding all the different measurements for Star? As for Merriman, seems safe to say he falls under 6'3" barefoot.

The instagram video saying 6'4 1/2" does not help. Doesnt show his feet and in America nurses often measure in shoes OR allow to measure in shoes by request.

Rob, how is he anywhere CLOSE to 6-3.5 with 6-5.5 Omar Benson.

@viper
At most I can see 6'3" for Merriman in that pic, but 6'2.5" is just as possible.

@Rob
It's closer to the truth, but it's still not quite the truth. The truth is that he was measured 6'2 3/8".

Editor RobAny listing under 6ft 4 is really saying the NFL have screwed up and their combine was either wrong or a preferential measurement.
