If true, holy crap thats tiny. I mean 5”10 - 5’11” is pushing it to be a QB in the NFL, but 5’7” that’s insanely small.

That’s small for an avg Joe just walking the streets.

No way I’m throwing a 1st round pick on a guy this vertically challenged.

Eddie LeBaron thinks that is plenty tall.

For comparison, Sproles is listed at 5’6”


These are wee men.

I doubt he's 5'7''

But he's VERY short for an NFL QB. And he has midget traits that bother me. Mostly his large skull.

Some analyst yesterday was suggesting that the Cardinals may trade Rosen and take Murray first overall. That's pretty insane, imo.

He won't be a QB in the NFL, maybe a return guy or slot receiver.

here he is next to antonio brown, who is listed at 5'10. he looks to be an inch shorter than antonio here, so 5'9 tops

Not really if Kingsbury thinks Murray is more of his kind of QB.

Brees is 6'0 and Russel Wilson is 5'11. He does seem smaller than them. I would guess 5'10. Trindon Holiday was 5'5 and he looks a good bit taller then Trindon. Size wise he looks like Brandon Cooks who is 5'10.

Kyler Murray has incredible arm-talent at QB. If he chooses football over that baseball contract, it's not to be a KR/PR or slot receiver.

If he’s 5’9 or shorter he won’t be playing football

It is harder to make it to the show in baseball, but Damn if I turn down 5 MM.

How tall was Flutie? He and Murray seem very similar physically. Honestly I think Flutie would have been more successful in today’s NFL given how the game has changed.

Yes. I towered over the dude and I’m 5-10. He might be 5-8 with shoes on

I live in Allen where he’s from and have stood next to him at the gym before

I’m 5’11 and he was about 2 inches shorter. He’s not 5’7 but he’s also not 5’10

It was 3 million. He will get more money or the same from guarantees and his first contract in football though
