Couple combine measurement notes

We use a 225 bench press for rep, yet no one on the field besides CB's on the defensive side weights 225 and it does not take into account hip drive power which is how blocking and taking on blocks is really done. The NFL is horrible at using antiquated measurements to predict success which is one of the reasons drafting in general is so bad. 

Sure it's limited but it is better than anecdotal evidence which is what is used to say it matters. I mean people like to pretend Joe Thomas didn't have 32 inch arms lol. 

That's one tackle with sub 33 inch arms.

Name one more.
