But he would not be the first good offensive lineman with short arms and less than desirable strength.
Hope Alexander can get it done. We should know by the end of this season.
He wouldn't be, but those who set that precedent are some of the best technicians technicians in the game. Bodine eventually needs to get to that range of craft if he wants to be in the league long.
It's not exactly fair to him though, he wasn't really ready to start right out of college and was thrown in none-the-less with practically no obstacles for him to overcome. Some rookies succeed in these situations because they're at least athletically gifted or naturally strong, neither really the case for Bodine.
