Brian Billick size...?

  • I don't even know if I got his name spelled right. But combine is on in the background here and I saw him standing on the field with several other people and the other 3 look like they're suffering from dwarfism.

    Yeah lol he's like 8ft tall, doesn't help when he's beside some like mayock either. I think the biggest size discrepancy I've ever seen was when Tracy Wolfson (sp?) was interviewing T Cody post game, must have been the UT game back in the day - that was hilarious

  • He was a tight end when he played, so he's a big dude.

    I'm guessing LT is around 5'10..so Billick has got to be at least 6'6, but I was wondering if he wasnt even taller than that. Camera position and the fact LT was on the other end from him could have made it worse at first, though.

  • He was standing next to Tyler Eifert yesterday and looked a good inch maybe two inches taller and Eifert is 6'5 1/2

    Thanks...that gives us a better scale. Thats a giant man for TE whenever he would have been playing in his leather helmet.

  • per the wikipedia,....

    After spending his freshman season as a linebacker at the United States Air Force Academy, Billick transferred to Brigham Young University and became a tight end. He later told friends that he left the Air Force Academy because he learned, after he'd already enrolled, that his height and size (6-foot-5, 230 lb.) precluded him from ever becoming a fighter pilot.

    I read that but if the height they gave for Eifert is correct (6'5 1/2) then i promise Billick is taller than 6'5.

    that was when he was 18,.. not out of realm of possiblility that he grew some more.
