You have them mixed up Shrink. Doug Peterson didn't want Cam Robinson and rightfully so. He's awful.

Alaric Jackson plays well, that matters most.

That's why I think Conerly is a fit. Ultra-athletic like Peters was and has longer arms than Peters.

Any left tackle that is good has a lot of "dog in them" regardless of arm length. But guys with shorter arms have to have even "more dog in them" IMO.

What I found on the Google was 31.5” arms. For a team that’s known for valuing long arms it just doesn’t seem likely. If that’s wrong I’d be happy to be wrong.

That’s still shorter than thuney I believe but like crow said if his body’s long enough it makes up some.

Every team in the league values long arms. It helps keep pass rushers out of their chest. If you asked every team to build a LT in a lab, they'd probably come out with Tra Thomas.

If a guy can play, he can play though.

Braden Smith has shorter arms than Jackson as a RT for the Colts. So does Luke Goedeke for the Bucs.

I understand holding short arms against a draft prospect more than a free agent.

With a college kid, you’re evaluating everything to project how they’ll play in the pros.

With Jackson, you have plenty of NFL tape to decide if it’s a problem or not.

Agree.

If they are a draft prospect and I see under 33-3/4" for an OT prospect, I'm worried a bit. You really want 34"+ but I give the measurement a margin for error of +/- 1/4" because it's such an imperfect thing.

If a guy comes in under 34", he better be technically sound, have really great footwork, and some mass to anchor.

Will Campbell is this year's hmmm. I think he's easily the best OT in the draft but that arm length... what if it comes in at 32-1/4 or something like that?

My parole agent’s first wife knows the wet nurse for a real estate agent that claims Ronnie Stanley was seen dropping a deuce at a Kohl’s in Leawood. To the ship mother****ers!

The answer can't be a rookie or somebody on the roster.

Balto 02-24-2025 03:00 AM

I’m seeing 33 7/8 at his Pro Day. This isn’t bad at all.

Just saw Ty Law at the local storage units here in Green Bay.

The deal is done!

Kind of disagree. You might not like it but I think there’s a possibility that they polish Kingsley up and let him take his lumps.

Updated Post to include Height, Weight, Arm and Hand measurements per their NFL Combine on all potential free agents, including links to their original NFL Prospect Profile.
