Can we all agree that, with tens of millions on the line, that Kyler Murray did everything science would allow to reach this 5’10 mark?

He took growth hormones, he did daily decompression inversions, he stretched daily with psychical therapist, he practiced getting his height taken with every little trick ever conceived to get an extra millimeter.

When he got to that measurement, he had trained for it and stretched his body to the maximum.

While the other guys just kind of stood there, he was in the most important measurement of his life. He will forever been known as “over 5’10”, even though he is not.

5’9 would have been devastating and his agents knew it. His whole career would have been talking about how small he was. There is a huge psychological difference between 5’9 and 5’10. Congrats to him for beating the system, I just people to ease off of celebrating it. He gammed the system and is forever recorded as talller than he actually is.

Without a doubt, there's never been anyone with more on the line for less than an inch of height.

BTW: Daylon Mack just got listed as 6'1, these measurements seem suspect.
