‘Madden 15’ Player Is Just 14 Inches Tall

By Tommy Gimler

Sometimes talent doesn’t cross over all that well from the college football game to the pros.

Apparently, neither does height.

According to The Des Moines Register, a former 6-foot-2 standout linebacker from Iowa is just 14 inches tall in “Madden NFL 15.”

Christian Kirksey was a 235-pound Honorable Mention All-Big Ten player last year for the Hawkeyes and was drafted in the third round by the Cleveland Browns in this year’s NFL Draft. But gamers who decide to take the “Madden Solo Challenge” will probably tell you that the fact he’s playing for the Titans instead of the Browns doesn’t chap their asses as much as the fact that he’s just over one foot tall.

Naturally, the glitch exploded on social media over the weekend, and some of the images are beyond amazing:

Let’s be honest: Despite his lack of height, it looks like the virtual Kirksey would still be good enough to start for the real-life Oakland Raiders.
