The Long and the Short of It: Tallest and Shortest QBs at the NFL Combine

At the 2011 NFL Combine, scouts are extremely interested in measurables.

The list includes such things as: 40 yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, and others.

But one aspect that gets looked at considerably, especially with QB prospects, are their physical measurements...namely their height.

Players have been selected or passed over because of fitting into an acceptable size range.

This year will be no different.

The following is a list of the five shortest and five tallest QB prospects at the 2011 NFL Combine.

Besides seeing their height measurements, you can also check out the rest of their measurements and 2010 stats.
