How tall is Romo really?

[speedkilz88]

He had a 4.2 shuttle time. And a 7.11 3-cone time (also more of an indicator of mobility in a QB).


He had the 5th fastest shuttle time (at the combine) and the 3rd fastest 3 cone time.

Whats odd is that he wasn't mobile in college. Apparently he was able to get in better physical condition when going to one of those workout places which translated to better mobility. I would think that improvement like this would be due to playing at a small college where they didn't have as good of a workout program.

From the official combine results...

Tony Romo (6-2, 230, 5.00/40 yard dash, 4.16/SS, 7.11/3-cone, 30"/V, 8’9"/LJ, 37 Wonderlic) | Eastern Illinois

Looks like we've got our Norman Einstein on the team.

 

[Big Dakota]

Yeah, about a 2" hair.




I bet you've had to say those words a lot in your lifetime:laugh2:

Romo is 6'2 like Barkley was 6'6

Barkley was always listed at 6'4", which is about 2" taller then he really is/was.

Well they have a slow track at the combine, so it wouldn't be a reach to say they have a low tape either...

Ahh, the dreaded "low tape". I actually got measured at 5'9" at Midwestern when I'm actually closer to 5'11". Had the guy remeasure me and sure enough, 5'10.5".

Oh I have a great comeback for this, but the mods want to keep this place rated "PG" so I'll refrain from using it.


Just know that it has saved you from being owned on a presidential level.

Henson had a 42. Look what that got him...

Coming out of college I remember Barkley being listed at 6'6 but the NBA does that to almost all players.

 

[skicat1898]

I am 5'10 or 6'2,,,, depending on which 7-11 I am walking into.

I was on the field during warmups at 3 games last year and actually talked to Romo and Henson.... Bledsoe is 6'5, Henson is 6'4 and they both look 4 or 5 inches taller than Romo... Romo carries himself differently than the other two but I think it would be a stretch for him to be over 6'1

The guy is 6'2".

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

6-0
6-2
6-4


Sometimes people get too anal for something so silly.

Whatever his listed height or official height is, it seems he is tall enough to scan the field so it really does not make too much difference in his case.

 

[skicat1898]

6'0,,, 6'1,,, 6'2,,, who really cares!!! Like my first ex wife use to say,, ain't what ya got it's how ya use it that counts...... (should'a used mine at home a lil more often)

[skicat1898]

it ain't the size of the boat that counts it's the motion of the ocean,,,,,,, but it takes a heck of a long time to get to China in a one man row boat......

 

[mwj473]

Boy, there sure are a lot of Blue collar tour references in this thread. 1st I here the Ron White bit about leaving the 7-11 & his height, now the Foxworthy bit about a one man row boat to China.

Oh, I see, same person for both comments. They are funny skicat.

I thought it was girth that counts...if thats the case, I'm hung like a can of tuna.

Well Romo is 225 so he is not too thin.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I stood right beside him and I remember thinking he was not that tall....I would guess he is 6' 1'' at the very most.....
