***Missing data***
Eichenberg: 32.33

Sewell: 33.25

2 bfine favs (Darrisaw/Brown) meet/exceed the 34" threshold. So I'm gonna say Arm length is very important...

I also take drill numbers with a grain of salt. While Slater and Penei were practicing 3 cone drills, ect...with personal trainers; Darrisaw was blocking the like of Phillips, Roche, Weaver, Jones II, Rumph.....

Yea, that makes sense. I don't know if arm length is the end all be all for tackles, but there seems to at least be a positive correlation between 34"+ arm length and success in the NFL. So many tackles this year measured in at less than 34" arms, it makes me wonder if the measurements at the combine are somehow different than what is done at the pro day (For example, I wonder if the combine might measure from the shoulder blade to the end of the middle finger whereas pro days they measure from the arm socket to the end of the finger, or something like that) that may explain why this year's tackle class has such short arms across the board, or if this year's class of tackles just happens to have really short arms just by coincidence.
