The big discussion should be how much Bradshaw has shrunk
He looks 5 inches shorter than Howie. It's insane

Don't think he's lost anything.
Just saw him stand next to 6-4 Strahan and he looked to have edged him out

Rob, maybe 6ft4¼ is the truth peak?
Looking at him today he still looks around 6ft4 so maybe he hasn't lost much, half inch over is still ok though....not a true 6ft5 guy though he probably claims that

But he was consistently described as 6'5

@Viper: at times he and Strahan look the same height or he can look slightly taller. I think it’s the camera angle but maybe Howie is down to 6’3.75” today. I don’t think he was even 6’4 1/2” in his prime though. Probably more 6’4 or 6’4.25” range going off afternoon height. He’s never measured 6’4.5” on record. But I bet he was an afternoon 6’4.25 peak meaning maybe 6’5 out of bed if he did
@Editor Rob: why not list him 6’4.25 for his peak height since that’s what he measured?

He looks an easy 6-4 on the NFL set next to Bradshaw.
He makes Bradshaw look 5-10
Very weird how he looked shorter than Gonzales and Strahan, plus shorter than his 6-3 son.

He's only looking 6-2ish next to Strahan right now, level camera angle.
He also looks shorter than his 6-3 son.

He wasn’t quite 6ft5 that we can agree on but the peak listed for him I still think is fair overall. That’s not to say that 6ft4¼ doesn’t carry weight. Maybe he did measured that at one point aswell. He doesn’t really look taller than Strahan nowadays . A photo of him with Brady or Kaepernick would be interesting.
I’d love to meet him someday...I’ve been told I look a bit like him

Same size as Strahan at his peak. Both measured 6’4.25 and listed 6’5”, no guarantee that was a low for Strahan

Canson, I wouldn’t put him under a flat 6ft4. He may still even squeeze out a little more when measured. His hair easily adds 3cm+ though so it’s hard to gauge. I think it is safe to say that he wasn’t quite the full 6ft5

@Shane: that sounds about right. His combine was somewhere around there. I see a 75.00 but not sure if that was his combine or Pro Day. Some Pro Days are later in the day than Combines. Even if it’s his combine something like 6’2 5/8 would be his afternoon height

I have stood by his son Chris several times when he played for the Rams and I covered the team. He is probably pretty close to his listed height of 6'3". Maybe a little under but not too much.

@Rampage: I met him brown and he looked slightly taller than me (very slightly). I would’ve estimated him to be 6’5 very worst 195cm but he came out and said 6’4.5-6’5 is where he stands. I’m thinking maybe 195 is more like it or he has lost height. Could also be that when I met him I guessed him based on me being closer to 6’4.5 when I’m closer to 6’4.25 at a low. I can see Howie maybe 6’3 7/8 today no less

Editor RobWell, as I mentioned in the description...there is definitely a 6ft 4 and 1/4 out there for him.
To get described like that, the data has to come from some measurement, I tried to find the 1/2 that somebody mentioned a while ago, but didn't find it yet, just the 1/4 inch mention.

I actually agree with Rob reducing it. He looks about Strahan’s height at most. Not even so sure he was 195 peak maybe more 194 based on what Bobby said below. Today tho he isn’t as tall as James brown and brown isn’t over 6’5. He looked “marginally” taller than me Looked half inch to an inch (inside of that).

Just rewatched it on DVR, only one camera angle had Howie looking 1" taller than Chris. All other angles had them looking the same height. Saw some Draft day & UVA college pics of Chris & Howie...Chris looks 1" taller?...odd!

after seeing pics with he and James Brown id have to agree exactly with what Bobby said. Looks 6'4" maybe a hair over with James brown. I've met Brown (Lives in DC area) and he's actually "about" his listed 6'5" only a tad bit taller than me about 1/2" or so) absolute worst case 195 maybe best case peak 196. and he's close to an inch taller than Long.

Guy is huge and funny made an ok actor and a great presenter.
Probably a good footballer too.
He was a Holly wood 6 5 way bigger than any 6 footer or even 6 1 star.
Still remember a western/comedy with him and Emilio Estevez.. looked 7ft in it.
