Does Size Matter? A Look at the Tallest & Shortest QBs in NFL History 

This is quite the coincidence. You guys release a video about short and tall quarterbacks and KTO does the same less than an hour later. I’m not suggesting foul play since it takes both you and KTO longer than an hour to make a high-quality video, but it is interesting. I’m certainly not complaining.

it’s not the size of the ship it’s the motion of the ocean

The video is titled "Does size matter?" and has Nick Foles in the thumbnail. I see what they did...

All this list proves is how much John Elway loves tall QBs

How in the world did you and KTO post a video about LITERALLY THE SAME TOPIC at almost exactly the same time!? What are the freaking chances!?

3:20 Shouts to Dave Brown for getting his full name put on his jersey ... sweet

Wait KTO and NFL throwback do the same video 😂 That's crazy

It's nice looking at a size comparison between all Quarterbacks. Thanks once again for another video.

Flutie was an inspiration. Didn’t he win several Grey Cup championships in the CFL? Plus, side note, I think he might have been the last NFL player to complete a drop kick.

Another fantastic gem by NFL Throwback. Great work!!!!

You and KTO posted a video on the same topic at the same time! What a coincidence!

OLine and DLinemen have gotten taller over the years and the combine evaluates height as a key factor for an NFL QB. However, K Murray was rated very well in the combine.

Respect to Pat Haden...never heard of him but he was cold for the limited time with the 70s Rams

Waiting for a 5’8 165 lb wideout to end the same stigma about short receivers. Guys like Steve Smith Sr and Antonio Brown are proof size doesn’t matter at the position

Amazing Job NFL Throwback!

I watched Doug in the CFL for years. The guy was electric. His final play in the NFL was a drop kick field goal with the Pats... And people thought Bellachick doesn't have fun

Great vid, now do one on hand sizes.

It's not about height: It's about drive, it's about power

I see what you did there

Nfl throwback and KTO posting this at the same time is 🔥

I actually never knew Sean Payton was a player lol

Didn’t KTO just upload this same video 😂

Weird how I just watched a video from KTO about this lol

It’s not about height, but more about certain qualities that are rarer with shorter QBs. It’s about durability, throwing power, field vision, and larger hands for ball security. If a shorter QB has all of those qualities near the top of the list, height wouldn’t matter at all. Even if a guy was 5’6 if they could throw 70 yard passes, make good decisions, take all hits, and hold onto the ball it really wouldn’t matter.

Murray is tiny!! But he has proven he can really play!!🏈

3:20 Lmao they had to put Dave Brown's entire name on the back of his jersey? Dang.

I love how BDN is on the thumbnail.

Great video

Not only do tall QBs have long throwing motions, but since they can tower above their O Linemen DBs and linebackers can more easily read their eyes.

I absolutely NEVER heard of Bob Berry before now. Good for him that he managed a stable career despite his stature!

Doug Flutie was definately one of the smallest, but damn what an arm. It pisses me of he got benched in Buffalo in the playoffs for a much less talented QB. No wonder he went into broadcasting for college.

Pause…

They knew what they were doing putting foles on the thumbnail with the title lol

These titles have come a long way

I thought this was a different type of video

KTO BROUGHT ME HERE

Title man knew what he was doing 💀💀💀💀

6:18 - Joe Montana is probably thinking to himself “I’ve already forgotten more than you’ll ever know kid...”

as a broncos fan, i seen this coming John Elway had a thing for tall qbs ..

Ayo? 🤨

🔥 video

Seneca Wallace was my franchise QB in NFL Head Coach. He won like 12 Super Bowls 😂

8:33 Yikes... That spiral. Or lack of one.

Fran Tarkenton was said to be 6'0 but debatable and one of the very best!!!

Uhhhh @KTO did you & this channel collaborate here, or is something fishy here?!

It's more about the size of the heart ❤ for the Sport? Payton Manning vs Johnny Football??

BRUH KTO just made a video on this exact topic

This channel and KTO both posted a video about shortest and tallest QBs in NFL history within the same hour. Lol did y'all copy KTO or did KTO copy y'all?

These comments are about to be wild

Haha Kyler Murray looks like a toddler out there, 5 foot 10... hey wait a minute I'm 5'10'!

I've stood next to Kyler. No way hes 5 Ft 10. No way. My guy is 5' 8 at max.

Show this video to John Elway this is a perfect video for him

I’m tryna cop one of those Dave brown jerseys

Hebert definitely has the best arm of those 6’6 qbs

Im A Huge NFL FAN! SO FUN TO WATCH

Sus title

Great video Size doesn’t matter

Weird coincidence or what? KTO just posted an identical video to this.

Missed the manlet, Johnny Manziel, who measured 5'11" at the combine. His lack of height was a deciding factor in the NFL as the linesmen are now much taller than the '60s-'80s. Too Tall Jones really stood out but now he wouldn't be that much taller than average.

I’m not gonna lie when kyler Murray got drafted I thought he would get crushed by defenses and not live up to much but I was wrong and now he’s one of the most exciting guys to watch

Pat Hayden didn’t start in the Super Bowl vs the Steelers. Vince Ferragamo started.

Kyler Murray is a beast. It's a shame he's one of the shortest qb out there. He has to throw higher over the 6 feet defenders. But still, he's special.

I don’t think size matters anymore about how quarterbacks should look and how some of them didn’t let their height affect their ability to play the quarterback position. They will use it as an inspiration. At least, they have the arm strength, athleticism, speed, agility, agile, and potential. They will either be a pure pocket passer or a dual-threat quarterback.

R.I.P Vincent Jackson 4:38

Should've included Trevor Lawrence, even though he is a rookie he is still "notable" cool vid tho

5:34 RIP DT

This reminds me of KTO’s video, only better!

4:48 lmao

I couldn't even make it halfway through. Mike Glennon was in the ACC but rather at Virginia Tech. And Russ Wilson suited up in red and white but at Wisconsin not NC State. And calling American League pitcher Mark Prior a slugger was about the only way to inaccurately acknowledge his HOF caliber

KTO MADE A VIDEO ABOUT THIS FEW DAYS AGO LMAO

Didn’t even know flacco was that big😭

Does Size Matter? Absolutely. It just isn't the end all be all. If a quarterback is that good, they don't need to be 6'5 to succeed

I’m a water polo goalie and only 5-9, 5-10 on a good day. I’m proud to be the shortest goalie in the Big Ten.

He neglected to mention Flutie's 3 Grey Cup championships and 2 6000+ yard seasons in Canada. He could have done so much more in the NFL if he'd been given the chance and was allowed to play his type of game.

Although Russell Wilson has sort of already did it. If the Cardinals win the Super Bowl Kyler Murray will forever eliminate height as a requirement to be a star NFL QB. It will become more of a preference than a prerequisite. And more sub 6 ft QBs will get a chance in the league.

Nice title

Kinda weird how Paxton Lynch is like, my second or third cousin ((my mom is a lynch, they’re all tall as hell)) and I’ve never ever even seen his face

I was only taller than ONE of those guys 🥺 I'm 5'8"

Bro kto just made a video on this same topic lol

That's what she said

Title guys gets a NICE 👍

So basically just the Broncos after Elway became gm.

Soooo Matt Schaub wasnt a "franchise qb," he was THE FRANCHISE QB of the Hou Texans

9:28 They lost in the NFC Championship to Dallas. Quite badly. Did ya'll make a mistake there? Because I swore I heard the name Vince Ferragamo in that Super Bowl.

10:16 *circus music intensifies*

Doug Flutie Was Short Tall Quarterback ☺🏈

God bless you

It's not height, it's heart that makes you a winner

The bills wanted big johnson instead of small flutie XD

“Does size matter?” I see what you did there NFL throwback. 😏

What about Dan mcgwire

Fran Tarkenton?

Eddie LeBaron may have been listed at 5'8", but I'm not convinced he was that "tall" lol

Big Ben just missing out

I didn’t hear Doug Flutie🤷🏻‍♀️edit: my bad, good stuff😀

Did you guys just watch the KTO video and decide to make one yourself?

Russ set the standard for undersized QB's

So if you're taller than Matt Stafford and can throw a ball with power and precision, you're better off playing another sport.

Flutie actually 5'9"and 3/4...from his own mouth!

Rip d jacks I was so sad 😭 when I heard that
