Rob, explain how he looks nowhere, nowhere in the same universe as 6-3.5 with 6-5.1 morning measured Nelson Rosario on a flat stage.

That angle isn't going to help Merriman's height, it's so low that if you were 1 inch further from the camera it would knock a lof of height from the person further away.
viper said on 20/Mar/19
NFLcombineresults has Star at 6-4, pro day blog page at 6-3.2, and draftscout 6-2.4
viper said on 20/Mar/19
I really doubt he's 6-3 out of bed.
6-2.5 out of bed imo.
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@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

Editor Rob
Well I don't think Shawne is nearer, but a bit further.
How much it can effect things is something that varies.
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@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.

Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@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
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@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.
Click Here
His combine measurement is 6’5 1/8 (6051) to be exact and the league has always listed him at 6’3”
Click Here
Shane said on 20/Mar/19
@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.
Shane said on 20/Mar/19
@Viper where are you finding all the different measurements for Star? As for Merriman, seems safe to say he falls under 6'3" barefoot.
Shane said on 20/Mar/19
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.
viper said on 20/Mar/19
Rob, how is he anywhere CLOSE to 6-3.5 with 6-5.5 Omar Benson.

He could be further from the camera and have less sneaker, the pavement could be flat.

At most I can see 6'3" for Merriman in that pic, but 6'2.5" is just as possible.
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 19/Mar/19
@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 Rob
Any listing under 6ft 4 is really saying the NFL have screwed up and their combine was either wrong or a preferential measurement.
viper said on 19/Mar/19
He definitely needs an inch downgrade to 6-2.5
Canson said on 19/Mar/19
@Viper: agreed but could even see the argument for 6’2” there. And the 5’5.5 senior bowl just supports that guys are measured very early in the AM at the combine because Sproles was said to be 5’6 1/8” there. Sounds a bit like Murray this year. He never looks more than low or mid 5’9”
Canson said on 19/Mar/19
Still overlisted but better than 6’4”. 6’3” would be the catch all
viper said on 19/Mar/19
1 more inch to go Rob.
6-2.5 is closer to the truth.
viper said on 19/Mar/19
Merriman looks 6-2.5 MAX with 5-5.5 senior bowl measured Darren Sproles.
Click Here
Merriman has better posture.
Canson said on 18/Mar/19
@Rob; I meant the video with 6’6 1/8 (morning) measured Martellus Bennett. Viper provided a source of Bennett measuring 6’5.75 later in the day but since you said Merriman is around 3” shorter, to avoid a drastic downgrade, 6’3” is fair. 6’3 1/2” puts him at 2.25” shorter which he’s obviously not. There’s at least 3” there between them
Editor Rob
Well I am giving him 6ft 3.5 overall just now, because it could be closer to the truth...
viper said on 18/Mar/19
Rob, he looks SHORTER than 6-2.5 barefoot with Bennett.
6-2.5 is a compromise
viper said on 18/Mar/19
6-3.5-6-3.75 is pure fantasy, especially when he was listed at 6-3.
Miko hasn't seen the Merriman-Bennett video where he looks 6-2 barefoot
Editor Rob
His posture with Bennett wasn't great, but then 6ft 3.5 is a figure that I can buy for him, for now.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/Mar/19
@Rob
Then why not? If 6'2.5" or even 6'3" is too offensive of a listing, then 6'3.5" is a good start. A downgrade for him is long overdue.
miko said on 17/Mar/19
6'3.5/6'3.75.
Canson said on 17/Mar/19
@Rob: if you’re gonna use the video at the doctor’s office, it’s also fair to include the video Viper posted with Martellus Bennett. While the former supports his 6’4” listing the latter aligns with what he was measured at his Pro Day 6’2”. It’s fair if you’re listing the Doctor video
Editor Rob
The description is reserved mainly for describing or mentioning quotes, which is why it is worth mentioning he is trying to insist he is 6ft 4 at that measurement. I already uploaded the 6ft 2 screencap from the news archives.
Canson said on 17/Mar/19
6’4 Is pure fantasy. He’s at most 6’2 range. Honestly he looked what Viper said in the video with Martellus Bennett
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 17/Mar/19
@Rob
How about a 6'3 3/8" listing for now, if you don't wanna list him at 6'3"? He has both 6'4 3/8" and 6'2 3/8" listings so it'll be a fair split. I virtually haven't seen any posters here who actually believe he's a legit 6'4".
Editor Rob
a compromise listing of 6ft 3.5 is possible, but 2.5 I have yet to be convinced he's as short as that.
viper said on 15/Mar/19
cmillz he looked 6-1.5-6-2 up close with perfect posture.
High time Rob puts him at 6-2.5
cmillzz said on 14/Mar/19
6’4 is way too high... there’s no way he’d be eye to eye with someone like Tom Brady.
Canson said on 13/Mar/19
@Rob: I’m willing to bet that the NFL isn’t going to respond. They won’t want to expose what is potentially done on occasion or that maybe the made a mistake. I bet if you get a response at all that it will be that he measured at 6’4 3/8” which he looks nothing like even if that’s out of bed because like Andrea even believed, that would make him a weak 6’4” guy 6’3.5-.75 which he certainly doesn’t look with Martellus Bennett who Viper also showed measured 6’5.75 a different time later in the day. Even if it’s not 4” between them, it’s definitely not less than 3”. I think 6’3” flat is even better than 6’3”. At least that was referenced in the comments on his picture although that looks like a shoe height more than anything.
Editor Rob
Well unfortunately they didn't respond (but then that is par for the course as soon as something like CelebHeights is mentioned 😆), and it's not like the request is unreasonable...
viper said on 11/Mar/19
Rob I would just go ahead and put him at 6-2.5 now.
NFL isn't going to tell you anything.
Canson said on 11/Mar/19
@Viper: Booger admitted to 6’0” actually when the Saints played the Redskins on MNF when Drew Brees broke the record. He said he’s 6’0” and that Brees looked no more than 5’10”. Booger looks a solid 6’0” with Jason Witten who looks the solid 6’5” he looked in the height listing you provided with Martellus Bennett. That’s 5” between them

@Viper: see how early the NFL measurements take place. If the measurements are published before 9 am it shows how early they actually got measured. That number seems high even for a morning height. I’m equally surprised and skeptical being those close to him and who have seen him say that he’s shorter than that
Canson said on 1/Mar/19
@Viper: maybe he was listed as 6’7” in basketball then. But different sports will list people differently. Heck, Kyler Murray was listed 5’11” in Baseball and 5’10” in Football at the University of Oklahoma. I wonder when he was measured on Ourlads? From what we’ve seen Combine listings have had a wide variance from a Senior or Pro Bowl measurement. Meaning even with 6’6.25 and 6’5.25 measurements I don’t completely rule out the fact that at a low he still may be the latter.

@viper
Briscoe's 2013-2015 measurements have got to be errors. There's no way a 6'1" guy would be 6'3"-6'3.5" in shoes, let alone basketball shoes. If the pattern's reversed (his measurements getting taller as the years go on) then maybe that indicates growth, but that's not the case. His earlier measurements are taller than his newer ones.
Canson said on 24/Feb/19
@Viper: I spoke with my friend who has played ball with him and he said that they’re similar today. My friend is a solid 6’7” at a low. He said it’s possible that it’s half inch difference max but they may be about the same height still. I don’t know if Buck was ever much over 6’7” but I don’t deny that at his peak he was a legit 6’7” guy if not a hair over. I doubt he was 6’8 however

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 21/Feb/19
@viper
I doubt Merriman's anything over 250 lbs today. He has slimmed down some since he retired. As for his doctor's measurement, occasionally doctors and nurses do mismeasure people when they don't bring the stadiometer's board all the way down to the head. One time I was overmeasured by about 2cm, but I had thick hair back then. Merriman didn't have thick hair to the point of being overmeasured by 2cm. If he was overmeasured, I doubt it was more than a cm.
Canson said on 20/Feb/19

Hard for me to see why this guy is listed above 6'3". He was listed as that in college, and very rarely can manage to look more than that (quite honestly, he looks 6'2").
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 19/Feb/19
@Rob
But that doesn't mean anything. Some people can weigh heavier than what they seem. 272 at 6'2"-6'3" isn't unbelievable at that size, especially when you notice how he was a lot bigger in 2005 than he is in recent years. If you're not even gonna list him at 6'3", then you should at least list him 6'3 3/8" here, since both the 6'2 3/8" and 6'4 3/8" listings have been highly debated on this site. That would only be fair.

@Canson
I give him 6'2.25" worst case. A 6'2.25" guy can easily be mistaken for 6'2" flat. My theory is that he was measured 6'4.25" in the morning with shoes on, and was rounded up to 6'4.5" by the nurse. Some shoes can easily give 1.25" of course, so he would be 6'3" barefoot at morning, and you subtract 3/4" so you get 6'2.25" at night.
viper said on 18/Feb/19

@Viper: I agree with Rob that at times he can give off a shorter impression but I also agree that he’s 6’2 range versus 6’4 or even 6’3.5. This is easily one of the worst listings on the site. Even 6’3 is better
Editor Rob
The thing is, I don't know if anybody would offer help in trying to see what his actual records say. Would the NFL admit to a mistake...

Im not gonna mistake a 6-4 guy with perfect posture for 6-1.5-6-2 up close.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Viper: that’s interesting. Lamont Jordan shows a 5’10 1/4” combine listing. That goes to show that they aren’t always accurate.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Rob: it’s entirely possible that the 6’2 3/8 he measured at the Pro Day is the same measurement he received at the Combine. Viper also posted where Julian Peterson shows 6’5.1 at the combine but is really only around 6’3” as that’s what he’s listed at in the NFL. It’s more than likely that his measurement was 6’3 1/8 as opposed to 6’5 1/8”. Meaning he may just be 6’2.75 at a low whereas Merriman May only be 6’2” range as well. That video with Martellus Bennett who is 6’5.75 at a low is by far the best judgment as both are barefoot. That’s over 3” between them so the most I could buy is 6’2.5. Even a full 6’3” is a much better listing than this one since you said yourself that you thought it was 3” between them and Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 in the morning
Editor Rob
It's a big error if it's true. Either he was 6ft 2 3/8th or 6ft 4 3/8ths. His 274 weight doesn't make as much sense if he was only 6ft 2, but more if he was over 6ft 3.
Canson said on 18/Feb/19
@Christian: actually 6’2” flat is possible. if Martellus Bennett is 6’5.75 at a low which Viper provided proof of in a different post here, there is a chance of 6’2” flat for Merriman. I used to believe 6’2.5 would be the better listing. However with the video I doubt it’s more than 4” but could see 3-4” meaning 6’2.5 could be equally as feasible. One thing I’m confused on is the other video where the nurse measured him. It was likely in shoes and in the AM perhaps but that may signal more of 6’2.5ish if that’s the case

"There's certainly a fair amount of photos/clips which can be used to say he is under 6ft 3,"
And 2 sources saying he measured 6-2 at his pro day, with a specific 6-2.4
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 16/Feb/19
@Rampage
Yet I don't see you calling his unbelievable 6'4 3/8" "measurement" as "nonsense". While I don't believe he's as low as 6'2" flat, there's sure as heck of a better chance of him being that than being 6'4 3/8".

Rampage you do upgrade so many here by 1-2 inches.
Have you watched the video? You can't argue Merriman is taller than 6-2
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Rob, Merriman has perfect posture with barefoot Martellus Bennett on video and looks 6-2. He looks 4 inches shorter.
That's the best evidence there will be. Best evidence maybe ever on this board.
Both guys barefoot on video.
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Sorry Rampage but you have blinders on.
I saw Merriman up close with perfect posture looking 6-1.5-6-2. Others have said he looks 6-2 in person
He was measured at 6-2 at his pro day.
He looks 6-2 at most BAREFOOT with a
6-5.7-6-6.1 BAREFOOT Martellus Bennett.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Feb/19
Ron, do you seriously believe this 6ft2 nonsense?
Editor Rob
People are entitled to believe whatever figure they like. There's certainly a fair amount of photos/clips which can be used to say he is under 6ft 3, but I personally haven't seen enough to think of giving him such a figure and would still say he might be a guy who walks and stands shorter than he measures.
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Rob could you post the Martellus video up top in the description. Thanks
viper said on 16/Feb/19
Agree Canson. The Martellus video is the best evidence by far since both are barefoot.
Canson said on 15/Feb/19
@Christian: 6’3” is a good start for him. I still believe he’s 6’2” range but we can tell for the most part that he’s not over 6’3”. I don’t understand how and why the Martellus Bennett video isn’t factored into the listing or even description since it’s clear that that is not just a 1.75” difference even assuming we are only using their combine listings when we saw that Bennett was 6’5.75 a different time later in the day. While a 3.5 or 4” difference looks most feasible I would say it is no possible way it’s less than 3”.
Canson said on 15/Feb/19
@Rob and Viper: being Viper also provided that Bennett is 6’5,75 at a low it’s safe to say that Merriman likely isn’t more than 6’2.75 since you alluded to 3” difference between the two. While I believe 6’2” I think then 6’3 is a good start for him. Even in the video where he was measured at the doctor we saw on the replies to him claiming 6’5” someone else said 6’3” although that looks like a shoe measurement. He’s definitely not anywhere near 6’4”.
viper said on 13/Feb/19
Carson Edwards measured 6-1.5 in shoes.

Could be the same reason Merriman measured so high in that video.

@viper
It's not a really easy way to compare. You'd have to line up Austin's head in proportion with both Merriman's and Kelly's pic, and see the difference between Merriman and Kelly. But the problem is that the camera positioning isn't that great with the Kelly pic.

@Mickie: it’s similar to the video with Martellus Bennett. Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 at the combine and in the link Viper provided he was 6’5.75 (they rounded him up to 6’5.8) when he was measured a different time. Even if Rising Christian Viper and I all overestimated the difference between them by a tad it’s still over a 3” difference. Even a solid 3” between them makes Merriman more like 6’2.75. I think a downgrade to 6’2.5 is the best fit but my personal opinion is he’s 6’2” based on that. Rudy Gay called him 6’2” when he met him as well

@Viper: Sharpe I can believe as a strong 6’1” guy mainly because others are overlisted. I saw where you commented on Steve Smith. He’s 5’8” range from what I’ve seen. I agree on Strahan too 6’4 not 6’5”. Likely flat 6’4. Kobe looked 1” taller but may be the angle and may just be 2cm. You were saying he looked 6’2” in person but turned out strong 6’1. Maybe he had footwear advantage on you when you saw him. It’s like with when I saw John larroquette. I thought he was taller than my Dad but likely he had a footwear advantage when he walked past us or that he was standing straighter. It was also some 25-27 years ago when I saw him and I wasn’t as height aware as I am today which started because I see people all the time claim taller than they are and used to wonder why but now I know. As for Larroquette seeing pics on Night Court with Richard Moll I can agree with most that he looked 6’4” as opposed to almost 6’5”. At most he could’ve been my height prime 6’4.25ish

sometimes guessing from our own perspective can increase a range of error, but when you have other people whose height you know standing or interacting with a celebrity, it can be helpful.

This might be a randon question, but how tall is your brother?
Canson said on 18/Dec/18
@184guy: from the video that Viper posted of Bennett and Merriman, Viper’s estimate is very believable. Viper has him 6’1.5-6’2”. Now I would say he’s a flat 6’2” more than likely as he measured 6’2 3/8 at his Pro Day. I saw where Bennett measured 6’6 1/8 at the combine but 6’5.75 another time later in the day. If that isn’t 4”, I would say it’s at least 3.5. I know Christian and Rising both also said it was at least 3.5” if not 4”. I would’ve said 4” but I’ll leave open 3.5 maybe a tad under. Maybe 6’2.25 for Merriman if the case which almost lines up with his Pro Day. I originally had him at 6’2.5 when his page came up on the site about 10 months back

I have him somewhere around 6'3. If you are 6'2.75 makes sense to think you could be taller because both of you are pretty near . Sometimes for example I think that I'm taller or as tall as a 6'1.75 friend when I'm clearly not while others I felt to be as short as a 5'11-6' guy that I know . Height perception is very trick . I'm pretty sure that almsot everytime that Rob guesses someones height , he try to use a third person to help the guess

It's hard for me to buy this guy at anything even close to 6'4" when I see him looking just slightly taller than Adrian Peterson who is a measured of 6'1.5" (that could be early in the day). Also next to Shilique Calhoun - these guys are NOT the same height. He really seems more like a guy who would be under 6'3".
Canson said on 15/Dec/18
@Christian: I don’t think Rampage has seen the video with Martellus Bennett. And Bennett is gonna be less than his combine measurement if we go by an afternoon height. Most likely not higher than 6’5.75 as that was what he was listed on Couch Scout. Could even be as low as 6’5 5/8. I’ll give him 6’5 3/4 since that’s what Couchscout has (6’5.8 is just rounded up from 6’5.75). Even if we just used Bennett’s combine measurement. It’s still gonna put Merriman no higher than the average guess if it is only a 3.5” difference as opposed to 4”. But in reality Rising said it in the post that it could be 3.75-4” which is how it looks for most. It’s arguable that it could be over 4” at some points really. And 3.5” for maybe a shorter period.

@Christian: I’m unsure as to exactly how tall Captain Jack is. I would’ve actually bought 6’6” flat like the newspaper listing had him but that could’ve been off. I tried comparing him to Reggie Miller and couldnt tell. Jackson did look taller than Metta Wold Peace however and he looked a half inch taller than Kawhi Leonard although Leonard doesn’t necessarily strike me as someone near 6’6” either. I used to feel that he was 6’5.5 but I wouldn’t be surprised he were 6’5.75 and given 6’6” and is really even 6’5.25 or 6’5 at a low. Leonard doesn’t look that tall imho for a 6’7” listed guy. Jackson though could look 6’6” with Duncan and MWP imho. Maybe 6’5.75 instead since I also have MWP 6’5.25 afternoon

@Christian: same with Clarkson as Peterson. Morning height so likely a bit under 6’3” unless he’s grown
Canson said on 4/Dec/18
@Viper: that’s how he looks in the video with Bennett to be quite honest. Best case 6’2 1/8 or 1/4 if we use a 3.5” difference worst case is 6’1.5 maybe but not sure how much that has to do with the camera. I think 6’2.5 is a good compromise. 6’2.4 that he measured at the PRO day is likely 6’2 3/8 as opposed to half. I don’t think that was in 1/8” increments as I saw some .8 and .9 as well. I saw Jason Witten listed 77.8 on his combine listing in one place which shows 6056 on his combine elsewhere.
viper said on 4/Dec/18
Merriman looked 6-1.5-6-2
Canson said on 28/Nov/18
@Viper: if you’re 6’2.75 at a low, you’re guessing Merriman as only 6’1.5 or less if it’s over an inch. How much diff did you see? I guess from the video it’s within the realm of possibility but he was 6’2.4 at his pro day. That’s a lot to have lost. I could buy maybe 6’1 7/8 unless he padded his socks or something. If you hit 6’2.75 then that’s your height you would be gauged at here on this site of course still rounded to 6’3” in every day conversation and I would just say 6’3 too
Canson said on 28/Nov/18
@Viper: Evans measured only 6’4.75. Chances are 6’4 3/8 or 1/4 honestly at his low over 6’4.5
Canson said on 27/Nov/18
@Rising: very interesting observation. I saw about the same. 4” for some of that video then 3.5 for parts and 3.5-4” for parts. There were times when Bennett actually appeared to have even more but not sure if that was just the camera. I still think it’s somewhere In the 3-4” range (closer to 4” than 3” imho). I would say that Bennett measuring 6’6 1/8” would probably come out to around 6’5.7 at a low (6’5 5/8 up to 6’5 3/4). Benefit of the doubt 6’5.75 and Merriman 6’2.25 imho. But Worst case tho is right where Viper saw him and Merriman could be weak 6’2”.

@viper:
Click Here It can actually look more before you consider Bennett is shortening his eye level. The difference between their heads is about 82 pixels then so if you compare that to Merriman's head(as 10") then it'd come out to almost exactly 4"(3.96") or just over 3.75" if you go with 9.5" for Merriman's head instead.

Not saying either didn’t and I can believe both may have but Viper’s encounter came at the same game I attended and also saw Merriman at although I was much further away than him so I couldn’t size him up. I actually would’ve believed and I did assume that he was 6’4 or 6’3 until Viper posted the evidence then I became skeptical and now I know he isn’t for sure. He’s def 6’2
Canson said on 26/Nov/18
@Christian: definitely agree
@Viper: I think 6’3 is a start. Rob acknowledges 3”. Still not a great listing but better than the current. At least only an inch off vs 2 or perhaps a bit more. I actually said 6’3 was a good listing earlier this year when this page was first opened just because we were all so split due to the pics favoring 6’4 then 6’3 then 6’2

This is some big footwear Merriman is wearing.

@Christian: agreed. And Rising said it very well in his post below as the evidence is there and is almost bulletproof that it’s nearly 4” difference. I honestly believe it’s over 3” nearer 4” if not a full 4”
viper said on 25/Nov/18
Rising, could you make the line go straight across and show it's 4 inches.

JuJu Smith has an erroneous measurement. He's not 6-1. He was measured 6-0 at his pro day.

Merriman looks under 6-2 with Bennett
viper said on 25/Nov/18
He's nowhere close to 6-3.5 next to barefoot Martellus Bennett
viper said on 25/Nov/18
Merriman looks nowhere close to 6-4, so I don't know why Rob keeps him there.
He needs to be downgraded to 6-2.5
Canson said on 25/Nov/18
@Viper: that would make him possibly 6’1.5 at a low
viper said on 25/Nov/18
Watching Texas A&M, the announcers are saying Kendrick Rogers is really 6-5-6-6
Even though he's listed mainly at 6-3 and 6-4.
viper said on 24/Nov/18
Nobody thought Shannon Sharpe was 6-1 until it was discovered he was.
viper said on 24/Nov/18
Over an inch shorter. I'm 6-2.75 at my low.

@Canson
I think the only thing that's keeping Rob from downgrading Merriman is his supposed 6'4 3/8" measurement. Rob even said that he thinks he's 6'3"-6'4" but he still lists him at 6'4" for some reason. Just about everyone here, including Andrea, Junior and Sandy believes he's shorter than 6'4", as they have him at 6'3.5"

This is one example of what I was referring to with head length:
Click Here If we can agree that's fairly representative of where their heads start and end then between the lines comes out to 190 pixels for Bennett and 207 for Merriman. Now this varies in the 3 stills I uploaded to where their heads are about equally long in one and Bennett's is a few pixels longer in another. Rob knows more about cameras than I do, but when someone is closer to the camera and getting a big height advantage, it often seems that their head winds up looking disproportionately long. I know tilting up and down can make the head longer/shorter as well, but nothing about their head size seems unusual in that pic, imo.

@Viper: Davis could even fall under by a hair
Canson said on 23/Nov/18
@Viper: 6’4 5/8 (morning) Vince Young is also at least 2” taller than Merriman

Canson said on 23/Nov/18
@Viper: you said you measure 6’2.75. Did you see Merriman as 1” shorter than you or was it more than that?

Rodney Harrison has called 6-1 Muhammed Sanu 6-4 twice now.
Yet he called Matt Ryan just 6-4
viper said on 22/Nov/18
Rodney Harrison just called 6-2 Michael Thomas 6-3-6-4.

Watching 6-2 Jonathan Allen getting walked off the field in the cowboys game.
He looks a couple of inches taller than Merriman physically. Looks closer to 6-4 the way he's towering over everyone on the training staff
viper said on 22/Nov/18
6-3 Vernon Davis is clearly taller
