Sadly, we've seen the last time a television announcer will tell us that Brock Osweiler is 6'8".

Did you know he’s 6’ 8”?

Re: Brock Osweiler retires
The title of this thread should respectfully be "6'8" Brock Osweiler retires"

Except he wasn't 6'8" as he was measured at 6'6 and 7/8 inches tall at the 2012 NFL Combine. Guess he's only 6'8" when wearing shoes and a helmet.

Re: Brock Osweiler retires
My brother was a legit 6' 7 1/2" in high school. He was always listed as 6' 8 1/2 - 6' 9" tall.
He did reach 6' 9" in college, and was listed as such, despite not reaching that stature until his sophomore season of basketball.
That was from 1962 - 1965. Apparently the practices haven't changed in the last 55 years.

I wonder if he wishes he went to gonzaga for basketball. Committed when he was in 8th grade. Most likely made more money playing football.
