@Viper: years back it may have been held later. I ran into a guy once that said he measured 6’3 7/8” at the combine and 6’4 1/4” by his doctor. I asked him how early the combine measurement was and he said a few hours after waking. This was many years ago however. I know since maybe mid 2000s it’s been early morning

Canson, I see no evidence why the combine would measure in the afternoon.
It's been morning for as long as I've known.
He also had a 6-1.5 measurement

He was 6’1-1/2”@ the Combine & 6’1-1/4”
@ the SR Bowl. Always looked a strong one inch shorter than 6’2-3/4” Barefoot John Elway. Marino IMO always looked a good 2” inches taller when both were on the CBS Pre Game Show.

I don't know about this one Rob. Next to Skip Bayless he looks 4 inches to a tad more taller and he's listed 5'10". Next to Dan Marino he looks an inch shorter and you have him listed at 6'3.5". Next to other NFL players like Tony Gonzalez he looks on the taller side of 6'2." What are your thoughts?

he did look around that with measured 5ft 6 and ½ Big G.

The NFL isnt accurate at all on some. Guys like Michael Strahan, Warren Sapp, and Keyshawn Johnson are a full in shorter than their listed heights. And Tiki Barber is 2 inches shorter. You can just tell hes nowhere close to his 5-10 listed height. Hes downright short. Plus I saw 5-9 Steve Smith even mocking him on the NFL network showing that he was taller, and he was.

The NFL is accurate when listing heights. They round up, or down by the 1/2 inch at most. If a player is measured at 6'2.5", for example, they get to chose whether to be listed as 6'2", or 6'3". Sharp may be 6'2", barefoot, but chose to be listed at 6'2". With shoes, he would probably be over 6'3".
FWIW, I've met Jamarcus Russell on a few occassions. I'm a legit 6'5" exactly, barefoot, and Russell was certainly no shorter than me. I even felt he was a bit taller. He was measured at 6'5.5", and is listed at 6'6". Unlike the NBA, NFL player's height's, for the most part, are acurrate.

I saw that on the pro bowl. Your right about Peyton. He is more around 6'6. Here is an old interview he did with Dan Patrick and he says this:
"DP: As Marino said, he's deceptively slow. That's why he was able to last.
PM: Those white shoes. White shoes make you look faster. Notice that I'm probably 6-6 but I say 6-5½; 6-6 sounds slow. I heard that from Drew Bledsoe. You gotta give Bledsoe credit on that quote. Great quote"

Some people can shrink easily 1/2 inch throughout the day. I lose a full inch by nightime, 3/4 minimum as it depends on the day. I go from 6'0.75-6'1 out of bed to 6'0 by the evening/night.
