Of the best QBs in the NFL, Rodgers Brees, and Wilson are considered amongst the best, probably 3 of the top 4 after Brady. And they're among the shortest as well. Antonio Brown and Odell are under 6 feet and considered amongst the best at their position.

Is talent measured by height? Haven’t heard of this. Brees is the most talented QB to walk the face of the earth but he’s short

It’s part of it not all of it. If height was the only measurement of talent, Brock Osweiller would be a hall of famer.

If Rico was taller coach would have put him in and they would have won State.

Size matters.

You see a ton of qbs around 6’1” or 6’2” but practically none that are shorter than that.

Little Drew is so overrated. Interception king. I hope we draft a guy that's taller than my wife next year

Height is a physical trait, not a measure of talent.

I get that height is a bonus but it seems that when it comes to the NFL draft players get picked higher just because of it. If Watson was just a couple inches taller he'd have gone before Mitch. Mayfield would be the consensus #1 pick this year for that same reason.

Height and talent are two different things. Someone can be tall and untalented and someone else can be short and talented.
