5 tallest NFL players heading into 2022 season ft. Orlando Brown

NFL players have a certain set of skills that are rarely matched in the world of sports. The number of viewers that tune in to watch the NFL combine is evidence of how fascinating these athletes' attributes are. The 40-yard dash, bench press, and vertical jump are just some of the workouts that demonstrate the spectacular physical abilities of NFL players.

One of the physical traits that isn't talked about enough is the height of NFL players. In fact, height can play a fundamental role in a player's career success. It can provide them with a number of advantages over their opponents, especially as offensive linemen. A lineman's height gives them a key advantage over pass rushers. Similarly, defensive linemen also have much to gain from a tall frame.
