My eyes tell me he's around 5' 8". I decided to look up some height predictors based on arm span and hand length. I found a few that use one or the other and a study that uses both. I decided to throw Kyler's measurements in to the equation for both arm span and hand length to see what his predicted height is. Here's the regression formula from the paper I used if anyone wants to check for themselves. The formula is for males and you'll have to convert his combine numbers to cm. 54.399 + (0.606) Arm span + (0.741) Hand http://medind.nic.in/gaa/t15/i1/gaat15i1p105.pdf The model predicts he is 178.914 cm tall. That equals 5' 10.4". They found no statistically significant difference between measured (actual) height and predicted height, so this model does a good job of predicting actual height. However, the margin of error is +/- 1.87 inches and the study is based on an Indian sub-continent population. To add to those caveats, Kyler has really short arms and relatively large hands. Arm span is typically a decent indicator of height, or a little longer than the actual height in many athletes. Kyler's wingspan is 5' 9.4".
