Back before the mid-late 2000s, 99% of players lied about their height and weight. They inflated them to make them sound like better prospects. I've met montana, and sure he was older and most likely shrunk some, but I highly doubt he was ever 6'2. Lol
this is why I always laugh when people
try to say Brock is small. He's really not. He's just
not huge like Trevor Lawrence but he isn't small like drew Bree's, Russell Wilson, or Bryce young. He's along the ACTUAL heights of a majority of players.
Every single height/weight I've seen of Steve is 6-2 215lbs
I mean overall for the QB position he's below the avg…6'2 1/2 and 219lbs is the avg as of January 2023.
not sure how you can say Brees is small at 6'1 213lbs, but Brock at 6'0 5/8 212lbs isn't?
overall I don't really care…doesn't seem to be an issue.
Coulda sworn Steve Young was in the 220, 225 lb. range. Thought I read an article back in the day that said he probably could've played as a runningback. Didn't think much of it then, but to hear that now, that would've made Steve Young a big dude.
Now things make a lot more sense!
