In the first pic, the noted journalist was looking straight into the eyes of the athlete, establishing eye-level contact. In the latest pic though, it is not possible, and she has to look at him by raising her head a little.

Fans speculate on Tom Brady and increasing height

A few of the Twitter users asked if the legendary QB has become taller in these two decades. Some other observers stated the media personality was not wearing heels while speaking with Brady. Some others thought it was because of the camera angle that he appeared taller.

After the height debate, a few users also pointed out how the media star has aged well in these years. In fact, both personalities look stunning in the picture. The picture is remarkable for a reason. It is always a rare occasion in sports to celebrate a past relationship as old as two decades. It is because the longevity of a star or host does not range up to two decades in this sport. But it was not the case here.

The GOAT and his height game

The 1.93m tall superstar is well-built, and athletic, too. Previously in his younger days, he used to use his height advantage to pump out long passes. However, the QB focuses on his eye-game more while playing. Hence, the focus is more on the ball and the target. Meanwhile, the three QBs who beat the NFL GOAT in his height game are Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, and Phillip Rivers all stand 6-foot-5.
