That's cool if you want to believe that, but this thread isn't about that.
Make another thread if you want to dispute what was said...

I think he's either 6-2 or 6-1 and a random high fraction. He's lanky though, so that makes him look taller IMO.

Maybe it had something to do with his handing the award to Mark Barron (who wears Number 4)

On Upshaw at the weigh-in, TideSport's Chase Goodbread said the room was in awe about how Upshaw looked at 273. Said no other 270 pounder looked better than Upshaw physically(no homo?).
Goodbread also said he, along with Vlachos, was a bit creeped out being in a room with around 80 players just in their underwear

I'm sure they will eventually
If not, there's always the same guy that goes every year that describes the player's bodies in exact detail. He uses the phrase "bubble butt" a lot

Never trust the media guide: college players don't measure up in Mobile

Flag Post James Varney, The Times-Picayune The weigh in at any NFL draft event is fraught with danger for the athlete - an inch here, a few pounds there, and draft stock can plummet. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, for example, once famously refused to leave the stage when he was originally measured a shade under 6 feet tall. The measurement was taken again, and Brees hit the 6 foot mark.
On Monday in Mobile, the South team provided ample evidence that the height and weight the athletes and their friendly media teams back on campus put out aren't necessarily accurate.
Alabama, for example, seems to have trouble with the scale and the tape. There are 5 players at the Senior Bowl from the Crimson Tide national championship team and not one of them hit his listed height at the opening weigh-in. Perhaps the most egregious case was wide receiver Marquis Maze, who came in listed at 5-feet-10 and failed to even hit the 5-feet-8 mark.
Three LSU Tigers - safety Brandon Taylor, tight end DeAngelo Peterson and guard Will Blackwell - all fell short of their listed heights, too, although only Peterson, who measured 6-feet-2.7 though listed as 6-feet-4, came anywhere near Maze in terms of inflation.
This kind of chicanery isn't confined to marquee players like Maze, though. Were it not for first-team All-America punter Brad Wing at LSU, Georgia's Drew Butler would have been the best punter in the SEC last year. But Butler isn't the 6-feet-2, 214, hulk the Bulldogs media department would have you believe. He measured just a hair over 6-feet-1 and tipped the scales at just 199.

I've heard 2 different stories on how media guide heights are acquired. One being that they are self reported for the most part by players, the other being coaching staffs add on height and weight for physiological advantages.
Back to the Senior Bowl, the arm lengths, hands, and wingspans have came out. I'll try to get them up in a bit if anyone is interested.
Better yet, I'll just link them:

Man Joe Adams is tiny. Probably hurt him come draft day only being 5'10 175. NFL sees that as a slot guy all the way.
