Per NFL Combine

Cam Newton-

HT: 6'5" WT: 248LBS.

ARM LENGTH: 33 3/4"

Colin Kaepernick-

HT: 6'5" WT: 233LBS.

ARM LENGTH: 33 1/2"

They are near identical. The only difference is Cam have a thicker frame. Colin has a lot more muscle mass, he's just got a thinner frame. Cam has dropped a little weight since then, whereas Colin has added quite a bit. There's probably less than a 5lb difference in their size now.

Idk where he got those numbers, probably out of his ass.

 

Why do you keep writing this (it it was you), and claiming "they're near identical"?

 

Cam is almost 6'6" tall (you left off the .50-3/4). And it doesn't matter what he weighed in at the combine. That was almost 4 years ago. Cam himself said he was 260+,. which is what everybody figured to begin with by looking at, being near him. 

 

Cam more likely fluctuates between (bare minimize) 250-265 lbs, depending on the point of the season, and what type of diet, exercise he's doing. The two are not even comparable in size. One's a tall wide receiver, and the others a Tight End, damn near DE. 

 

And just cause Cam is bigger (or the available picture with Benjamin), doesn't mean Kaep has more muscle mass. Cam is normally ripped (while being so big). 

 

Please see picture of them side by side.

Cam is bigger than Colin, and you can clearly see the difference when visually comparing the two. There's a reason Colin has been compared to a running ostrich, he has VERY skinny legs.

This was about four months ago.

Cam looks at least an inch taller than Colin. Btw, Cam is 6'5 1/2.

Edit: His official height is 6'4 according to the 49ers themselves: http://www.49ers.com/team/roster/colin-kaepernick/6e4c644b-16eb-48cd-96b7-f4ee48868219/

 

Agreed.

 

And notice how Cam is obviously bigger (all over), while being noticeably taller. And this is despite the fact, Kaepernick has a jacket and hat on while Cam doesn't have either. 

 

I find it funny how folks such as Night Prowler rounds down Cam's height at 6'5", but rounds up Kaepernick's height at 6'5". 

 

Either way, it's obvious that Kaep's noticeably smaller and shorter. Their size is not even that close. We're talking 20-35+ lbs of muscle and one inch + of height with Newton. One's a Free safety, small line backer, and the others a very big line backer or Defensive End. Colin's a literal "Mini Me" next to him.  The picture says it all.

 

Some of us take a good look at this and stop with the 'practically same size' shenanigans/comparisons?

 

End of story.

Most of the gym goers in this thread are the people that complain about grunting at planet fitness.

Cam is recovering from surgery, is built like a phone booth, and still looks better than anyone here (myself excluded).

Almost all nfl players outside of like DBs and wide receivers do nothing during the offseason because the regular demands on their body require it. They basically spend three months healing before they get back into it.

Once OTAs and everything start they'll start eating meal plans and doing the basic strength training. Then they'll start with the conditioning.

Cam will never look like a body builder because that's not the way he trains, and it can even be detrimental to their playing by fuging up their mechanics. The most famous bro split gym rat qb was Brady Quinn, and he could barely throw it 40 yards.

If you want to be concerned about cams weightlifting and workout regimen, concern yourself more with his squat numbers, since that's a far better indicator of his work ethic than highly defined abs.

Lastly the reason he isn't kaepernick ripped is his body fat %. Cams probably sitting at 12-15% right now. Everyone is different in this respect. It's almost all genetics and diet and really not something you should concern yourself with.

One of the greatest athletes in the world is Ilya Ilin, and he looks just like some random poster on the huddle.

Colin is jacked. He went overboard on the weight lifting and has put on a lot of muscle mass since the combine 3 years ago. On the other hand, Cam has actually slimmed down some and weighed less last year than he did at the combine. There was only a 15lb difference then, it's even less now.

You think they didn't edit that last pick a little? That's a magazine, where they edit everyone to look better. Generic pic vs a magazine pic.

Bottom line, cam is better
