About 'Rivals top 100' list

For the top 100 lists for specifically football I'm finding it hard to believe some of their stats. Do they exaggerate slightly on weights/heights to make them more appealing for scouts, because I know professional athletes have this done a lot - rafael nadal for example - or are the kids measured in shoes? Because watching some of the youtube interviews etc with a view of them (matt barkley for example) I'm just not seeing it.

Also, if you search class of 2010, you can see that suddenly the average weight drops massively. We all know you can't add 50lbs of efficient weight in a year, so what's going on I wonder.

I know they exaggerate height/weight stats in American football. Chad Johnson, pardon me..Chad Ocho Cinco is listed at 6'1, 192 which would make him my height and a few lbs heavier. If he's over 170 I'm the king of England
 
One thing which I suppose does throw it a bit is when you watch a video with 3 apparent 6'9 basketball players standing in a line, and there is at least 3 inches of height difference between two of them.
 
This is different, obviously because pro wrestling is make-believe, but I remember when they used to bill Hulk Hogan as 6'9 then oddly 6'6 Dennis Rodman towered over him LOL
 
Haha, yeah height is lied about a lot. I mean most celebrities love adding a few inches especially.

But at school if you ask the taller guys how tall they are they're adament that they're 6ft. Yet I'm 184cm and at least an inch and a half taller than most of them. I think people exaggerate to an extent where they even believe that they are that height.
 
Celebrities are all short and small.

Mr. Big (Chris Noth) is about 5'6" (with shoes). I think his IMDB page says he's 5'10". Yeah ... right ... if he's standing on a box.

Every movie star I've ever stood beside is a veritable midget. They're really tiny people.
 
What would you consider tall though?

I know Will Smith is about 6'1.5-6'2 and Tom Welling is about 6'2.5/3 etc etc. Not all actors are small. Brad Pitt though is a joke. There is no way that man is over 5'11 but he insists he is 6'1. Joookeeees.
 
Any guy that is 5'8" or more is tall to me, because it's all relative, right?

I'm only 5'4". Almost every guy is taller than I am :D

LOL, it's all about perspective. An ex-girlfriend of mine had a really short family. I think the tallest man was like 5'7, 5'8. I'm 6'1 which is relatively tall, but certainly not remarkably so. I used to have a pic of me with them in a wedding party and I looked like friggin Shaq or something:D
 
I'm listed on maxpreps as 6'4 235 pounds. (serious).


I am 6'1 185 lol
