How many of these heights have been legitimately confirmed though? Ya know, by standing 4 people down from a coach or another player in a group shot?
A couple things on QB height though:
1) Some of those older guys were considered "typical" or perhaps even "big" in some instances, in their time. The 6'4"-6'5" 220-230lb threshold was a phenomenon of the late-80's to early 2010's.
2) I have railed on ND since I've returned to IE about signing bigger QB's. But that's certainly not the end-all, be-all. But it should definitely be taken into consideration when you're evaluating/offering multiple guys every year. If you have a 5'11" prospect and a 6'3" prospect rated as the same, the rule of thumb should be to take the bigger guy- as most of the time the bigger guy will have a bigger arm, be able to see down the field better, etc. If the staff values length at every other position (for all the reasons length are beneficial), then is also applies to QB's. Again, this isn't a fool-proof method, as a bigger, stronger guy may also end up having the mechanics and accuracy of Andrew Hendrix. But as a basis point, there's more to work with on the bigger QB.
