Everyone is just trying to put it in perspective here are Aaron Banks numbers at a very similar body style and billed as lacking athletically.
Aaron Banks
Height: 6'5″ (79th percentile)
Weight: 325 (86th)
Arm: 32 1/4 (15th)
Hand: 10 (66th)
Vertical: 31 (84th)
Broad: 100 (33rd)
Bench: 24 reps (40th)
40-yard: 5.32 (30th)
Short shuttle: 4.89 (18th)
3-cone: 7.69 (61st)

So what are his numbers on lateral movement? THAT is critical.
The primary reason so many people wouldn't consider Slater an OT was because of his 33" arms.
Sewell has now measured in at 33 1/4" arms, so we should apply the same to Sewell and say his ability to stay at OT is questionable.
Honestly, that's really disappointing. I was hoping Sewell would secure his generational talent standpoint so that the Bengals would take him. Now I think it almost has to be Chase.

The same NFL Radio guys that were talking about arm length, were also talking about relativity of speed/agility measurements. They said it's really only to confirm that what you saw on the tape was not a fluke, and that the athlete actually has the demonstrable physical abilities to replicate it as a pro.

Yup and clearly Sewell does. He is going to be a monster in the NFL for about 10 years. Hopefully it is here.
