Drew Brees was listed at 6'0" (he's really 5'11" and 1/2). Brees had just broken the record for most passing yards in a season, four months before Wilson was drafted. Wilson is probably less than one inch shorter than Brees. That was one instance where the fans were a lot smarter than the GM's, there were a lot of fans high on Wilson.
