Donald Trump's weight and height comparable to NFL quarterbacks after being booked

Former President Donald Trump was 6-foot-3 and weighed 215 pounds when he was officially incarcerated in Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. There has been much speculation over the official metrics and the final results saw him come in at comparable numbers to a number of NFL superstars - particularly quarterbacks.

Trump's official weight was more than 20 pounds lighter than the last weight he revealed during a White House medical before he was removed from office. However, it is unclear how reliable these figures are after questions regarding the accuracy of details listed in the co-defendants' files.

For example, prison records for Trump's former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, initially listed him at 5-foot-9, 180 pounds before later being changed to 5-foot-11, 230 pounds. The photos also didn't have a yardstick on the wall indicating their height.

Nevertheless, the numbers given for Trump after his formal surrender in Georgia have raised eyebrows – with many on social media noting they were comparable to football players and sharing recent photos of him at a LIV Golf event earlier this month to highlight how unexpected this was. is.

Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud, second overall pick in the recent NFL Draft, was officially measured during the NFL Combine as 6-foot-3 and weighing 218 pounds, or three pounds more than the weight indicated by Trump. Various other players, especially quarterbacks, have similar official body measurements but have a very different visible physique to Trump's.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is 6-foot-3 and weighs 220 pounds. Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson is 6-foot-2 and weighs 215 pounds, the same as Trump but just an inch lighter.

It has been reported that the statistics may have been filled in by an anonymous staff member, rather than prison officials. But that hasn't stopped sports fans from reacting to the measures on social media.

"It's 6'3" and 215 lbs (left), not that (blech/right)," wrote one user, sharing a photo of Trump next to University of Toledo linebacker Evander Craft , listed at exactly the same height and weight.

A user shared photos of Trump and Jackson and said, "Donald Trump claims he's an inch taller and weighs the same as NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson," while a another wrote, "I guess Trump and NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson have some height and weight in common."

Others have pointed to New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr and Minnesota Vikings caller Kirk Cousins ​​in the same range. "Mdr. So Trump is about the height and weight of the average NFL quarterback," one user wrote while another added, "I got Trump here suggesting his height and weight, and finding out he's built like an NFL QB."

Trump was in the Fulton County jail for about 20 minutes, and his hair was listed as blonde or strawberry in the records. He was released after surrendering to authorities on a pre-agreed set of terms by posting 10% of his $200,000 bond.
