However, Twitter followers of TB12 were in for a shocker when famous TV host Melissa Stark posted a photo with the legend. She returned to NFL action after a gap of 20 years and posted a throwback picture alongside a new one, taken with the legendary quarterback.
20 years later & still at it 🐐@TomBrady @SNFonNBC @NBCSportsPR
Picture one and two, spanning a gap of two decades, surprised a lot of fans. What got them stunned is the height of Tom Brady. 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.
How is this man getting taller? I don’t like it, he’s cheating at something, suspend him!
And you both look even better today!
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.
Either Melissa is getting shorter in her old age or Tom really did find the fountain of youth and is getting taller as he ages
Look into my Eyes while u talk football 🏈 2 me Brady… 😂😂29 yrs later he still look at her the same
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.
A seasoned campaigner, the 45-year-old is well aware that height is just one factor and the actual motivation to play is to get the feet straight and lift his eighth title. Because in the end, Tom Brady means business! And business means game.
