Dallas Cowboys rookie offensive lineman Dan Skipper will be the NFL’s tallest player if he makes the team.
Whether being 6-foot-10 makes a difference at the pro level is up for debate, but Skipper’s having none of it either way.
For the record, 7-foot Richard Sligh is recognized as the tallest player in NFL history, having played for the Oakland Raiders in 1967. Of course there was another tall guy who played 15 seasons for the Cowboys, but he was on defense. That was 6-9 Ed “Too Tall” Jones.
“I just try to play ball,” Skipper said.
