Okay, so I was watching football the other day, and it got me thinking – who’s the tallest wide receiver in the NFL? I mean, these guys are huge, right? So, I decided to do a little digging and find out.
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up a browser. I typed in “tallest NFL wide receiver” and hit enter. A bunch of stuff popped up, but it wasn’t super clear. Lots of different names and heights. Some said Dan Skipper, but he’s listed as an offensive tackle now, so that didn’t seem right.
Then I started looking at individual team rosters. I went through a few teams, checking out their wide receivers and their heights. I noticed a lot of guys in the 6’3″ to 6’5″ range, which is pretty tall. I saw one name, Mike Evans, come up a few times. He’s listed at 6’5″, playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s gotta be up there, I figured.
I also found some forums and discussions where people were talking about this very topic. It seems like there’s no single, definitive answer. Some folks mentioned a guy named Hudlin, who apparently is 6’9″, but he plays in other countries and is not in NFL. That’s giant! But not exactly what I was looking for.
My Conclusion
After all this searching, I realized it’s not as simple as just finding the tallest number. Some players might be listed at one height but actually be a bit shorter or taller. Plus, positions change. Someone listed as a wide receiver one year might be playing a different position the next. But based on my findings, there is no active WR higher than 6’5 in the NFL. And I can say that 6’5 Mike Evans is one of the tallest WR in the NFL.
While I was at it, I also stumbled upon some info about the highest-paid wide receiver. Apparently, it’s Justin Jefferson, who just signed a massive contract with the Vikings. $35 million a year! That’s some serious money.
- Noticed a lot of guys around 6’3″ to 6’5″.
- Found discussions, but no clear answer.
- Realized it’s not that simple.
- Think Mike Evans is up there among the tallest.
- Learned about the highest-paid WR.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the world of NFL player heights. It was fun to look into, even if I didn’t find one clear answer. If any of you know something I missed, feel free to share!
