You were presented with a study that completely debunks the pile of horseshit that you're trying to stand on as "your reasoning" for not liking a particular player.  In other words to mask your bias against a certain player.  The study you are wanting to dismiss, simply because you don't like who conducted it.  (basically, unfounded source bias)  I'm not even sure if you actually read their study, but they are pretty transparent with their data and methods.  

They studied all NFL OL who played at least 25% of their team's offensive snaps in a season.  They found NO correlation between arm length, and a players ability to perform at the NFL level.

Going back and reading pre-draft profiles, the absolute worst thing I see said about him is that he MIGHT be better suited to playing RT.  And even that is a minority opinion.  And even if arm length was a big deal, his arms are less than an inch shorter than ideal.  He compensates for that with outstanding technique and preparation.  

Didn't I read that his arms are the same length as Joe Thomas, the guy who is only the mandatory waiting period away from the HOF?
