Anybody know Brees and Wilson's official heights? Honestly I think it's a little overrated if you're mobile. In the case of Brees and even Flutie, those guys were just special. I've noticed Brees' throwing motion has probably impacted by his height. He has a bit of a catapult motion in my opinion.

I saw this tweeted earlier and was surprised Manziels weight(207lbs) is actually more than Wilson who is listed as 5'11" 206lbs, RW just appears thicker built to the eye.

Part of that may be because Russell is about an inch shorter than Manziel.

Wilson has a different body type. Manziel came off pretty good in his presser.

Don't have a problem with his numbers. Hands a little small for nfl standards. 9 7/8 just over the 9 1/2 the league likes to see.
Looking a Vicks hands you can see why he has had fumbles.

I think Russell is just naturally thicker. Manzeil was listed at 6-1 200lbs by the Aggies. Obviously, that was fudged just a bit. I suspect that he has put on weight prior to the combine, which is common.


Russell, while at Wisconsin, was listed at 5-11 201 lbs. His combine weight was 204 lbs so he probably is a little bigger.

Hands...small? Manziel?
His hands are giant compared to the other QBs in camp
Maybe those guys just have small hands though.

Is Logan Thomas not at the combine? Because no way is 9 7/8 hands bigger than Logan Thomas' gigantic mits.. his hand covers half the football when he holds it.

Not sure, but I agree I'd bet Thomas hand size is bigger

Size 15 shoe on a 5'11" dude is not uncommon...come on, I'm 5'11" and only wear a 9.5. Size 15 is HUGE...

I personally can't stand when players who are perfectly healthy don't do the requested drills at the combine. This is a job interview pal.
