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

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.

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.

Earned something like $2.5 million for every win in the NFL.

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.

His shoes will be hard to fill.
