Guess who is taller and weighs more (without cheating), Tim Tebow or Braxton?
The answer certainly surprised me.
I was watching this montage of Tebow clips and it is kind of interesting to compare Braxton to Tebow in the Meyer offense
Tebow was such a physical monster, plowing over people. Braxton definitely has the better moves of the two.
But guess what? Both Tebow and Braxton are 6'3 and around 230. It will be very interesting to see how Braxton progresses, especially with his arm.
Braxton is listed a 6'2 220 and he said in an article I can't remember he is a solid 215 now. I didn't cheat either.

Both are 6'3 230ish
^ hey...look at the external links down below that article..this is one of them
http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/miller_braxton01.html
im going to beleive the buckeyes official website over a wiki page that a pot smoking burnout could have writen. and thats an old link..the new one has him at 6-2, 220.
I have seen Braxton on campus multiple times and he is no way close to 6'3". I'm right around 6'2" and we are pretty much eye to eye. Also, Tebow definitely has a few pounds on Brax. Wikipedia lied to you my friend
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
LOL, just no. I don't care what some exaggerated listing says. Just compare the two by looking at them. Braxton doesn't compare in size, which is a good thing for his speed and elusiveness.

I thought by eye test he didn't match up, I wonder what Wikipedia is smoking.
well, i only used that example because a girl at ohio state who was dating one of my roommates, was a major wikipedia contributor and was also quite the pothead...so...
And even if they did weigh about the same they're clearly put together differently. Tebow has a bruising fullback type build while Brax has more of a leaner build.
It's still interesting to contrast the two running the same offense
Braxton is NOT 230 and Tim Tebow is NOT 230. Tebow was slightely bigger and Braxton is slightly smaller. Head to head Tebow hits harder, but that doesn't mean he is a better runner, just a different one.
Thanks STEENSN, you are a little late to the conversation. This has already been established
Not "to be late to the convo" but STEENSN (hit you w a +1 for good measure) is spot on...
Absolutely no comparison...Tebow dwarfs Miller. Braxton is 6'2" at best and doesn't weigh 225 lbs dripping wet.
Thanks OSU07ASU10, but I already said I agreed.
No problem PIEROGYJIM and thank you for the DV. Much appreciated.
Also, at no point in this thread have you said you agreed beyond it didn't pass the eye test and you aren't sure what Wiki is smoking?
Do you know how to read between the lines? Also, how did you know I DVed you?
LOL because you immediately took issue with my response and replied right below me.
For someone who questions if I can read between the lines....
Braxton is barely 6-1... All QB's want to be listed at 6-2 or over as pro-scouts really look at a QB under 6-2 as a huge minus. They had guys talking to Collin Cowherd about this a few months ago. QB's under 6-2 that get drafted rarely make it. Drew Brees and Vick are the rare exceptions and Vick has always been overrated as a true QB IMO ..they said 6-2 is almost looked at as he cutoff.

I was being tongue in cheek OSU07ASU10, of course I downvoted you!
I know one thing - I would hate to try to tackle either of this guys --- Tebow's brute force & Braxton's non-human-like quick feet

Coming out of High school I distictly remember Braxton was 6-1 210.
There was a small blip during the summer practice piece that ESPN did at OSU. It showed the QBs during a passing drill and Urban was standing behind them. After Braxton threw a pass, Urban said to Braxton, "Boy, your ars is really getting big."
Tebow is built more like a TE than a FB.
Only Braxton REALLY knows.
Wow... this thread didn't start good nor is it ending good, yikes. I didn't know I wasn't allowed to comment on a thread who's stated purpose was to say they are the same size.
@Bucks43201
I'd rather try and tackle Braxton. He would juke me outta my shoes but I would only have my pride broken. If I tried to tackle Tebow he would probably break one of my body parts in two. I'll take pride over pride and bodely harm...
excellent point, STEENSN

No way Miller is the same size as Tebow.
