Greedy Williams- 6'3 184, 6'1 7/8 183
John Battle- 6'2 206, 6'1/2 201
Nick Brossette- 6'0 221, 5'11 209
Foster Moreau- 6'6 256, 6'4 1/8 253

why are people so hung up on this?

every school give extra inches and pounds to their player, from elementary on up

this isn't some grand revelation all of a sudden

The heights are pretty damn close (looks like everyone lost an inch — could be embellished an inch or with/without shoes) and most players shed a couple pounds before the combine for the 40.

No one is hung up on this.

Op is just showing the difference.

Everyone knows Michael Clayton didn’t run a 4.45 in high school at 6-5 or whatever rivals/scout said he was.

Probably a few running backs if I had to guess. Seems like 6’2 would be the cutoff for advantageous height so I could see a 6’3-6’4 running back being listed at 6’2

Yes, some guys have and will play at a heavier weight, but they lost a few pounds to try and drop a couple split seconds in the 40.

I know this thread is about football, but one roster height bump that got me was Andrew Del Piero. His junior year he was 7-2. Then he was bumped up to 7-3. I guess it’s possible he grew. If not, it was the most pointless bump ever. Why would you need to exaggerate at that point?
