Okay, so today I wanted to figure out who the tallest quarterback in NFL history is. It’s one of those random things that pops into your head, you know?

First, I fired up my trusty search engine. Just typed in “tallest NFL quarterback” to see what would come up.
The results were interesting! I scrolled through a few pages, and it seemed like there were a couple of names that kept popping up.
Digging a Little Deeper
I started to make a list of the tallest quarterbacks mentioned.
- Some guy named Dan McGwire
- Another one named, Brock Osweiler, kept showing up too.
I jotted down their heights next to their names. Both were listed at 6’8″. Wow, that is really tall for a person! Then. I checked and double-checked different websites to make sure I was getting accurate info. There’s a lot of stuff out there, and you never know what’s what, right?
The Final Result
After all that searching and comparing, it looks like Dan McGwire and Brock Osweiler are generally considered the two tallest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL, both standing at a massive 6 feet 8 inches!
It was a fun little research project. I always like learning random trivia like this.
