Who Are The Tallest Offensive Linemen in the NFL? (2023-24)
As a seasoned sports performance coach with two decades under my belt, I’ve always found it effective to show the heights and weights of NFL players to the college athletes I worked with. It often was a source of inspiration, motivation, and, sometimes, a much-needed reality check.
I did the same research I always do at the start of this season. I took the 53-man active rosters for the 2023 season (just after final cuts at the end of preseason), almost 1700 players total and broke them down by position.
By popular demand, I created this guide on the tallest NFL Offensive Linemen this year, all 6’8″ or taller. Go ahead and impress someone today with your newfound random football knowledge.
