CINCINNATI, OHIO: Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football quarterback who stands tall at 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m or 180 cm) and weighs in at 97.5 kg (215 lbs), according to NFL.
While people consider this to be taller than average, the "minimum height" requirement for an "efficient quarterback" is 6 feet 2 inches, per Bleacher Report.
The National Football League's Denver Broncos are Wilson's current team. His previous 10 seasons were spent with the Seattle Seahawks. Despite his height, Wilson has earned a reputation as one of football's finest dual-threat quarterbacks ever.
Fans have praised Wilson on social media platforms for his performance as a quarterback despite his not-so-tall stature. A fan of his once wrote, “Highest paid Player and QB in the league in Russell Wilson. Kyler Murray 1st pick of the draft. Height doesn’t matter anymore!!”.
Another fan wrote at another time, “Russell Wilson should be a case study on the power of subconscious bias. His height, his style of play, and being in Seattle gets in the way of him being judged fairly. Russ’ first 10 years blows out Big Ben’s first 10 years. And his last 10 years. Purely based on facts.”
One person also wrote, “Every girl want a Russell Wilson till they find out he 5’10 and don’t reach they height requirements”, with another noting, “Shit with Future’s height and Russell Wilson coaching him up, lil Future really might be the future.”
Another NFL enthusiast noted, “Interesting the height issue. Look at Russell Wilson. Short and taking massive sacks.”
