Could add an inch and with the round up we're at 6'.

Check out the NBA's combine measurements.

Russel Wilson got drafted in the 3rd round, so I don't think Pro Scouts didn't think he could see.

That's a good question. Do we have an "official" 40 time for Denard while at Michigan? I'm sure he will be timed at the Pro Combine.

 

"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

ESPN, MGoBlue, Rivals, and Scout all list him as 6'0".

If you take 5104 and divide it by Pi you get 1624.65365908

 

Maybe this also means that since Denard wore 16 in college, he will wear 24 in the NFL?

Or is he 1624 cubic cm tall?

All hail Hoke!

I see Denard as a Julian Edelman or a Danny Woodhead type athlete in the NFL.

I was looking back through all of his accomplishments during his 4 years here. People like Denard don't come around often, and I'm proud as hell of everything he's done for the university.

"I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start."

Denard is Devin Hester with a brain trained on the offensive side of the ball.

Deadspin has just broken the story that, in spite of being stated to be 6 feet tall in media guides and news reports for his entire senior season, Denard Robinson is in fact only 5' 10.5".  In a hastily-called press conference, Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon defended the star quarterback, claiming that the erroneous measurement was due to a faulty tape measure, and that Robinson had no knowledge that he was actually not 6 feet tall.  Brandon claims that an internal investigation was conducted, and the tape measure in question was thrown away.

Questions remain, however.  Why did Michigan wait until after the end of the season to disclose the tape measure issue?  Why was Robinson still listed at 6' in the Outback Bowl media guide, two weeks after the investigation was said to have concluded?  Why was the tape measure quietly disposed of rather than being turned over to the National Institute of Standards and Technology for examination?

So all those times I rounded up my height to 5'11, I could've been saying 6 feet?  I feel cheated.

I disagree.  I've been rounding up to 5'10", but I could have been saying 5095 which is way cooler.  

"How tall are you?"

"I'm five-oh-nine-five."

"Totally."
