Tallest NFL MVP
Peyton Manning is one of the top quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL; he won the NFL MVP award a record five times. So, as expected, he was among the most anticipated high school recruits and college draft picks ever. That was due to his prototypical skills and dimensions; he was 6'5, the tallest an NFL MVP had ever been. He is tied with three other quarterbacks who won MVPs at the same height, Roman Gabriel, Boomer Esiason, and Cam Newton.
