Russell Wilson's 5 feet 11 inches height


The Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback player has proved it time after time that his height makes no difference to his game. Back in 2012 NFL draft, he was disregarded by many NFL scouts because of his height!

They said he was only 5 feet 10 inches tall. Short quarterbacks have to live with the stigma that they cannot see over tall offensive and defensive linemen on the NFL grass.


The Wall Street Journal even interviewed Russell regarding this. He gave a befitting response to them, “I am the exception to the rule. I’m trying to be the exception to the rule by the way I play. I believe I have all the tools, the mental aptitude. I just need an opportunity.”

And look where it brought Russell today, after 13 years! He’s a Super Bowl XLVIII champion, 2020 Walter Payton NFL awardee, NFL Rookie of the Year 2012, and Big Ten Quarterback of the Year 2011!

Is Ciara taller than Russell?


Ciara wears heels; she’s worn at least 6 inches or higher heels. This makes her height go 2 inches above NFL star quarterback Russell Wilson’s height.


Because of her fashion statements, most people have thought she’s taller than Russell, but that’s not the case. Someone clarified it on X.

‘Your Next Shoes’ shared:

“Ciara, who stands 5'7 ½" (171.5 cm), is shorter than her husband, Russell Wilson (5'10 ½" / 179.1 cm). But when she rocks high heels, she easily matches or even surpasses his height! ���� #CoupleGoals #Ciara #RussellWilson (Photo: DFree / Shutterstock)”
