• This 6-foot-11 high school quarterback would tower over anyone in the NFL

Quarterbacks tend to be taller than other players; it's not easy to find your receivers if you can't see them over the likes of, say, 6-foot-5 J.J. Watt.

Logan Routt, a Cameron, West Virginia, high school senior, takes that trend to its logical extreme. At 6-11, he towers over Watt by half a foot and is three inches taller than Dan McGwire, the tallest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. Routt also plays basketball (of course) and is a pitcher and a first baseman in baseball, and if this video from MaxPreps.com is any indication, he has a lot more going for him on the football field than just his height:

Routt just might be the first triple-threat quarterback. He can run, pass and, if he's willing to take a penalty, deliver the most thunderous dunk any goalpost has ever seen. Make sure to check out MaxPreps.com for more photos of Routt being very tall.
