I believe the answer you are looking for in recorded history is goliath. But in modern history is is the eight foot person that the other person is talking about. I live in missouri and actually have a friend who says he is his family member.

Somebody mentioned a tight end for the Chiefs and that tight end was Morris Stroud. He was 6-10 but he is the second tallest player in NFL history. The tallest player was a seven foot DT named Richard Sligh who played eight games for the Raiders in 1967. Scroll down to 1967 in the second link.

Perhaps you should research the Alton Giant of Alton, Illinois. I believe he stood 8 foot something. As far as the present tallest man, I have no clue.

Tallest Man - Living
WHO:
Xi Shun
WHAT:
2 m 36.1 cm
(7 ft 8.95 in)
WHERE:
Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, China.
WHEN:
January 15, 2005
Xi Shun (China, b. 1951), measured 7 ft 8.95 in (2 m 36.1 cm) as a result of six measurements taken on January 15, 2005, at Chifeng City Hospital, Inner Mongolia, China.
Beating the previous holder Radhouane Charbib (Tunisia) by just 2 mm (0.07 in), Xi Shun claims that his height was normal for his age until he was 16. As a comparison, his father stood at 5 ft 10.8 in (1.8 m) and his mother was 5 ft 2.8 in (1.6 m) tall.
In his late teens, he experienced a growth spurt that, while not normal, was seemingly without any cause. Doctors who examined him in 2005 discovered no evidence of gigantism or acromegaly, and could not explain why he grew so tall so fast (it took him just seven years to reach his record height).
Following a career in the Army – he was recruited for his basketball skills! – he returned to Inner Mongolia and works as a herdsman. He also hires himself out for publicity stunts for a local restaurant and tailor.
He currently resides with his father and brother at Chifeng.
