I'm going to speak the truth when I'm asked about it. This isn't for look. This isn't for publicity or anything like that. This is for people that don't have a voice.

American football quarterback and civil rights activist, Colin Kaepernick is a big man. So big in fact, that he stands shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and Michael Strahan. All four of them are very similar in physical stature -- they are between 6 feet 4 inches and 6'5" tall.
Anyway, Colin's height is listed as 6 feet 4 inches almost everywhere on the internet but in 2011, at the combine, he was measured as 6 feet 4⅝ inches which translates to 6 feet 4.6 inches or 194.5 cm.
It is more than possible that by afternoon Colin might measure just flat 6 feet 4 inches as people lose height in the course of the day. This height loss has mainly to do with the discs in the spine getting compressed from being upright all day.
Still, the official number sounds good.
The height of Colin Kaepernick is
6 ft 4⅝ in (194.5 cm)

If we reach common ground and can understand what everybody's going through, we can really affect change. And make sure that everyone is treated equally and has the same freedom.
