Lewis was listed at 6’1 and 215 pounds but probably stands just a notch below that. Ultimately, that kept Lewis from landing anywhere during the draft.

“I heard it a lot,” Lewis said. “That’s the biggest thing people knocking on my height. Can he throw the ball? Will it get batted down a lot? Things like that. Do you want to take a chance on a guy that is not tall enough? Those are the things I heard about me for not getting drafted. At the end of the day, you’re a quarterback no matter how tall you are. If you are a quarterback, you are a quarterback. If you can go out on the field at any height and produce then I am pretty sure if you do it in college, you can do it on the next level, too.”

I guess none of the people drafting watched the Super Bowl. Drew Brees wasn't exactly the tallest guy in the stadium, but he looked pretty damn tall holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
