LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Blessed with eagle eyes and legendary on-field skills, Tom Brady was undoubtedly one of the most coveted players in the history of the National Football League (NFL). In his 20-year-long career, the 46-year-old legend achieved a slew of magnificent records that will remain untouched for a long time.
The legendary quarterback, who announced his retirement in 2023, has his name written all over the history of the NFL after winning the Super Bowl a recording-breaking 7 times. He was also named Most Valuable Player in five out of the seven championships he won. Besides his prowess as a mind-blowing quarterback, the one aspect that has captivated NFL fans is Tom Brady’s height. He is undoubtedly one of the tallest players in the game, which clearly gives him an upper hand on the field.
How tall is Tom Brady?
Tom Brady’s height has been a hot topic since the start of his career in the 2000s. Over the years, many have claimed that Brady is 6’1" or 6’2". However, NFL’s official website confirms that the former NFL star has a recorded height of 6 feet and four inches (193 cm). Brady’s height is slightly more than the average height of quarterbacks in the NFL. This allows him to remain in the pocket, read plays with ease and throw above defenders. However, Brady still believes he is the shortest on the field. “I’m 6 foot 4, 220 pounds, and I’m the smallest guy out there,” he previously remarked during a conversation with Interview magazine.
How does Tom Brady’s height compare to other NFL players?
Tom Brady’s height is one of the reasons why he is so suited to be an extremely successful quarterback. Compared to his peers in the league, Brady’s height is above average but he is surely not one of the tallest players in NFL history. The former New England Patriots quarterback appears pretty short when compared to Richard Sligh (standing at 7′), Dan Skipper (6'10”), or Ed “Too Tall” Jones (6'9”). However, he appears taller than most of the players in the game. Even outside his sport, he is taller than many leading sportsmen including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Roger Federer, Stephen Curry, and Virat Kohli.
Is Gisele Bundchen taller than Tom Brady?
A globally-renowned model, Gisele Bundchen is surely one of the tallest divas in showbiz but she is clearly not taller than Brady. While he stands tall at 6 feet and four inches, she's 5 feet and 11 inches. The couple were married for 13 years before announcing their divorce in October 2022. They currently have joint custody of their two children: Benjamin (12) and Vivian (9). However, Bundchen falls on the taller side when compared to Brady’s former lover Bridget Moynahan, who is just 5′9". Brady and Moynahan were first linked in early 2004. Their relationship didn’t last long as after three years of dating, the couple announced their split in December 2006.
Tom Brady's son is nearly as tall as him
Brady took to his Instagram stories to share a fun snap that showed that his 15-year-old son John "Jack" Edward Thomas, whom he shares with Moynahan, is nearly as tall as him. In the picture, the two measured their height by standing with their backs against each other. "Not yet kid!! I'm still here," Brady wrote in the caption, with a series of laughing faces and red heart emojis. He also revealed that apart from being nearly as tall, his son also shares the same position as him. "I love watching him play quarterback because I think there are very few things in life that I could probably help him with. You know, I don't have a lot of specialties in life other than probably throwing the football. He's just a great kid. But I can definitely help him at quarterback,” he said on 'Go Podcast'.
