@Viper: while I do believe Wade edges Merriman, the difference looks more pronounced because of the camera angle with Ross. Wade looks a weak 6’3” with 6’3.5 at best James Harden and with Bradley Beal. But I do agree 6’3” ish. He may be your height 6’2.75 at a low. I saw the measurements for Ben and Leftwich. Ben is around 6’4.75 on there whereas Leftwich shows 6’5 5/8 (6’5.6)? He was 6’5 3/8 at the combine and to add to all of that Merriman is shorter than Dexter Manley who is 6’3”

I respect your estimate on Merriman, but it’s possible that when you saw him, he wasn’t standing with the best posture. Either that, or perhaps you had a slight edge on him in footwear. 6’1.5” would be a bit of a shock to me if he only measured that tall. I do agree however that 6’3+ is probably just fantasy.

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”

@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.

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.

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

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

The Vernon pic where he's standing 500 miles away is so funny.
6-3.7 Aaron Maybin is standing right next to Merriman and looks a good inch shorter.
Merriman doesn't even look 6-3 there, and yet he's taller than 6-3?

I guess we can make fun of Viper all we want but at least his video that he posted is more credible than some of the garbage pics that others post. In that video Merriman is clearly at least 3” shorter than Bennett and it honestly looks more

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

@Johan
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".

@Johan185: he can look 6’3 at times but in the video below he doesn’t look 6’3. Bennett measured 6’5.75 at Pro Day (6’6 1/8”) at the combine and that’s more than just 3”. That’s closer to 4”. He does look what Viper said. I personally believe a full 6’2 tho minimum as opposed to 6’1.5-6’2

I can see 3 inches there at the 3minute mark but its hard to judge as he is further from the camera and the posture is off. I definetly dont see 4" at all there.

Well I have said it many times before in the past but I will say it again. I am thankful that you run this website Rob and only taken actual good evidence into account. So many celebs are being spammed with atrocious pics lately with no other intent than to downgrade.
This gent in particular is nowhere near his 6'5" claim but he doesn't look less than 6'3" to me in any decent pic.

@Viper: I don’t want to call the nurse a liar but it’s possible it was staged. Remember he “supposedly measured 6’4 3/8” at the combine so he may have had her say 6’4 1/2” since he basically was that. But he could be wearing some very thick footwear as well

He can look all over the place depending on pics. I've seen a couple or so where he looked as tall as 6'5" range, and at times as short as 6'1". But I go with strong 6'2" for him, because not only did he look around 6'2" with 6'5.75" measured Martellus Bennett, both being barefoot, but he has a 6'2 3/8" measurement.

@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

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
@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.

The chances of Merriman suing because you have him at 6-2.5 are zero.
Editor Rob
Here's a tidbit from an article online:
"I once wrote an article about Schwarzenegger in which the editor at The Atlantic, a real stickler for defamation-proof published facts, forced me to use his listed height of 6-foot-2. I still get hate mail about that one from people who think I’m disseminating misinformation, and the comments section is nuts. It’s all dudes railing on me for daring to use the official heights and weights of bodybuilders, even though I was forced by the editor to do so."

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)

And Merriman is a guy who has gone as far as to say that he’s 6’5” before on more than one occasion such as posting the video and even his quote.

If we are saying that is a 2 inch error, then maybe other listings have potential for error

@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. I mean it’s hard to still believe any chance of 6’3.5 when he measured 6’2 3/8 and looked that much shorter than a 6’5.75 guy on video standing as close to him as he was

But I do agree with you that Merriman isn’t as tall as he is listed here and I really do think that if Rob were to be as accurate as possible with the listing that Merriman needs the downgrade
@Rob: in regards to the picture with bennett, that was as close to the perfect gauge of height as you get. They were standing right in front of one another and Merriman had a hard time reaching eyebrows. And they were standing in similar stances like Viper also mentioned

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.

I don't believe that Rob purposefully tries to make Shawne taller, but he's probably still not convinced that he's 6'2"-6'3" range. I wouldn't force Rob to downgrade Shawne if he really doesn't want to. That still doesn't change the fact that the 6'3.5" listing is inaccurate.

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.

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.
