@Viper: maybe he was 6’1.5 peak height. That’s easy to mistake in person if he has more footwear on than I suspected and it was around 3” diff.

@Editor Rob: Viper may be right after all. Look how short he is next to Brady. Even if both stood straight he looks almost 4” shorter. I’d have thought he was 6’2ish in person but maybe he had more footwear than I thought. I saw around 3”
(As stated below) (could’ve been more than that or a little less) but I had Timbs on and assumed it was that and that it was really more 2.5” diff (I was about 6’4 3/8 peak height at a low and I’m down to 6’4 1/4” a low so about half cm but I’m almost 43 yrs old too). So the 2.5” would’ve made him 6’1 7/8” or 6’1.75-6’2 but if I didn’t account properly for footwear he may have been closer to 6’1” say if it really were 3” diff and maybe less now. Also Boris kodjoe towered him and I still do not believe Boris is a solid 6’4 (we confirmed his brother is 2-2.5” taller than him and was listed 6’7 in college when he played basketball at VCU). My guess in stature is that he’s a weak 6’6 guy maybe a full 6’6”. Now I used to have Boris at 190ish but now I’d say he’s a 192cm range guy who could round up to 6’4 from 6’3.5”-.75”.
Now Brady does have a small forehead but that’s not a 2” difference either way. And this was 2021.

You seem obsessed with ensuring any celeb is not cited at 6'3" or above in general. It's as if you see yourself at this height and can't accept that there are taller men out there. LOL. Could Irvin has shrunk recently, if at most only marginally.
All combine height sources I have seen for Irvin are 6-2. I know you see me as a general height overrater/overestimater,
what about your comments on Trump, Diesel, and The Rock's page?

@J-Dog: maybe if I was off 6’1.5” but 6’0 looked low. 6’2 is how he appeared or near. Now on tv next to Boris he looks smaller but I would’ve guessed nearer 6’2”. But to be fair to Viper, he guessed Sharpe as 6’2 when he’s 6’1.25”. Maybe thicker footwear

@Viper: when I saw him in person I guessed 6’2” was right. Maybe it was me wearing a thicker shoe or it not being as much difference but next to 5’9” Emmitt Smith he looked 6’2” ish. Absolutely nothing worse than about 187cm range

I've been hanging around Rickey quite a bit lately. I will say he can at times up close give the illousion of being over 6-1. He could be a strong 6-1, I don't rule it out.

6'2 literally equals to 187.96cm. Irvin could mean he measure 188-188.2cm but he will came down a flat 6'2. If not wrong stadiometer give 2.5mm more height than measuring tape.

Canson, looking through newspapers Irvin was listed at 6'1 on the Miami Hurricane roster.
It could be like Marcus Allen who is listed at 6'1 a lot and was measured at 6'1 3/4 and 6'1 7/8 which really surprised me.

@Free: funny story I met Manley when I was younger when he played for the Skins. I'm from norther Virginia Couldn't tell tho because I was a kid but he looked a little shorter than my father who's 6'4" so I'd say he's prob 6'3 solid. Dawson not sure about tho. He's listed 6'3" but could be over by a hair. I've met Terrell Suggs before and he looked a strong 6'3. I know his pre draft was 6'3 3/8 I think. He surely didn't look less than maybe 6'3.25.i only had him by maybe 2-2.5cm

He's still very close to 6'2" if not a full on or what he even claimed a little over. He doesn't have good posture if you look. I've met him and he for sure was not but 5-6cm shorter than me and looked 6'2" in person given the fact I had a footwear advantage on him

SO if Irvin is only 6'0" how tall is Dez? They're close in height and Irvin may even be taller. The pics Jonesey posted he is not standing straight that is clear. Like I said I don't upgrade people generally at all and don't hesitate to downgrade (go look at my posts previously). I have no agenda just telling the truth. He even said above a fraction over 6'2". I doubt that's in shoes prime but today maybe he has lost height who knows

@Free: again you are using pics to compare someone. So why is your pic any better than the one I posted with Smith and Aikman where it is clear as day and you even said it yourself. I met him years back in the 2000s so maybe he lost height but I doubt almost two inches. He was for sure 6'2 or near 6'2 when I met him (nothing lower than 187cm likely closer to 188). I highly doubt he is only 6'0" tall. And by the way compare him to Deion Sandwes or Jay novacek he looks about 6'2". Some advice for you don't say "you're just wrong" because you don't know. You haven't met him and you are going off pics.

That Mike Williams pic is the best it gets. Footwear and everything.
Irvin looks no taller than 6-0 with 6-3 Mike Williams and 5-9 Steve Smith. You could actually argue 5-11 range.
Canson you are just wrong. It is what it is. If you can show me more than just aikman and Smith from years ago maybe you would have a more convincing case

Michael Irvin really does look no taller than 6'0. Heck he only looks 5'11.5 with 6'3ish Mike Williams.
Canson, you were off by an inch at least. Its fine, nobody is going to be perfect. Ive been off on many. I once thought a 6'8 guy was only 6'6 when I first met him at work. I asked how tall are you, 6'6? He said 6'8, and then upon further looking I realized he really was 6'8.
Irvin was never taller than 6'1. He might have been 6'1 when you met him but hes now 6'0. Clear as day with the pics he has with multiple athletes now.
And that measuring photo he has his shoes on Im sure and still measuring higher than he really is.

@Jonesey: one thing I will say (look at the basketball players I've commented on) is that I don't upgrade anyone generally or if I don't believe they are the height listed I don't hestitate to downgrade them. But Irvin in person is 6'2" like listed. I had a footwear advantage on him when I met him having on Timbs and had roughly 3" on him so that's putting me around 197-197.5 in boots probably. 3" could also be 2.5-3" as well. I measure 193.9 evening now but used to be 194.1-.2 and I met Irvin in the 2000s so easily still measured it then. But assuming 197 range in shoes that's putting me if Assuming if I too had casual shoes closer to 6'5" barefoot which would give me almost 3" in height over him making him around 6'2". I mean 6'1 7/8 could be just as arguable but when someone is that close and nobody's eye is perfect I give them the benefit of the doubt. I'd list myself 6'4 if I were 6'3 7/8 just like I list myself 6'4 at 6'4 1/3-3/8 now. The latter however is because I if I say 6'4.5 (which I often do I am asked why don't I round to 6'5"). It's because I don't consider myself 6'5" and am happy at 6'4"
@Jonesey: one thing I will say (look at the basketball players I've commented on) is that I don't upgrade anyone generally or if I don't believe they are the height listed I don't hestitate to downgrade them. But Irvin in person is 6'2" like listed. I had a footwear advantage on him when I met him having on Timbs and had roughly 3" on him so that's putting me around 197-197.5 in boots probably. 3" could also be 2.5-3" as well.

I'd be able to tell if he were only 6'0" or 6'1" standing next to him. Irvin is for sure a full 6'2" when I met him and looks it next to a 6'3" and change Aikman. Now I have not met him or Smith but someone I'm friends with who is 5'11 has met Emitt and in a pic with him had him by a couple inches. I'd put Emmitt 5'9" range

He's closer to 6'2" in person. At least it's how he looked. Remember when someone self proclaims a height it could be possibly first thing in the morning. But looking at him 6'2" is near or at his lowest.

I was never convinced Crews was more than 6'2" TBH, if he was about 6'2.5" like Rob thinks, he should almost always be the tallest in most scenes of the movies he stars in.

For the last time!...the 6'1-5/8" is another Michael Irvin ! Not Michael "The Playmaker" Irvin, who was measured barefoot @ The NFL Combine @ 6'2.25" in (1988) coming out of U of Miami !!!

If he was measured at 6'1 5/8 then there's no arguing Rob. He could be in shoes for his ''a little over 6'2'' measurement OR, it could have been
''Still just a little UNDER 6'2 so I did not physically grow taller this year''
The latter part of the quote makes more sense with that change too

The 6'1 5/8" measurement is for his son, not him.

Aza I think it was just a joke. Or more of a play onto his never quit spirit. The idea that he WOULD hope to keep growing even though it's physically impossible at his age (or any age past your mid 20s) is where the humour lies.
It's vain in the futility not the condescension.

His pic looks a bit vain to be honest....like he's going a long way to convince all that ' he's stopped growing' but 'he's still happy'.

MrTBlack, I've always thought Terry Crews was 6'2" even...Irvin did look 0.25" taller than Crews In The Longest Yard. Which I can totally see Irvin @ 6'2.25" & Crews @ 6'2"...Irvin was actually listed @ 6'3" in college @ Miami several times. Then proven to be 6'2" or just a shade over in the NFL. Crews was always listed @ 6'2" & anywhere from 235-248 lbs while in the NFL. IMO...Irvin 6'2.25" & Crews 6'2" ...

I recall reading that Favre was measured at 6'2.4", hence why he gets listed at 6'2" (they round down), despite being able to look 6'2" - 6'3".

Rob, have you seen him in "the longest yard" with Adam Sandler? He was taller than Terry Crews so either Crews needs downgrade or Irvin needs upgrade.

Christian-196.2cm actually brings up a good point, Rob.
When the combine does measurements, if an athlete measures say... 6'1.4" or below, they'll get listed at 6'1". If they're measured at 6'1.5" or more, they'll round up and get listed at 6'2". They round to the nearest half inch, if you get my drift.
I think that "just a little over 6'2" measurement" thing is probably a morning measurement. He's probably 6'1.5" - 6'1.75", a 187cm man.

He could've been wearing some thin shoes when he took the measurement for Twitter. That would put him at a bit over 6'2". Or he could've even been wearing athletic shoes if that draft measurement was from the morning and/or he's shrunk a bit.

Editor Rob well Rampage, I think the mention about 6ft 1 5/8th previously is for another Michael Irvin...
I think he probably did get measured 1/8th over 6ft 2, but drops to about 6ft 2.
