The Denver Broncos made several players available to media members after practice on Wednesday, starting with right tackle Mike McGlinchey, who is 6 feet, 8 inches tall.
Right after McGlinchey, the Broncos had safety Kareem Jackson speak. Jackson is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, almost a foot shorter than his teammate.
Denver streamed both podium pressers online and the height of the recording camera was not moved in between players, creating a noticeable contrast from when McGlinchey and Jackson stood at the podium.
Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports noted the height difference with humorous side-by-side screenshots on Twitter (now called X) on Wednesday evening:

Jackson apparently saw the tweet and had a hilarious response later that night:

“Aye Zac show some respect or I’m a give you a wedgie when I see you in the building 😂😂😂,” Jackson wrote on the social media site.
Stevens had a good-natured response.
You’re taller than me! Mike’s a foot taller than me 😂😂

Jackson, 35, is entering his 14th season in the NFL and fifth season in Denver. He totaled 94 tackles in 17 games last year.
