A pleasant surprise was Elflein's arm length actually measuring at 33.25". There was worry he'd be under 32.5", but this higher arm length should boost his stock because it should provide teams with better confidence he can better handle longer armed DL and show more ability to play OG too.
Ethan Pocic actually has a slightly shorter arm length than Elflein at 33.125". That is surprising for someone who is 3" shorter.
Both have good arm length for center though.

Dion Dawkins measured at only 6'4" tall but did measure 35" arms. The height is typically more in line with OG but the arm length is ideal for OT.

Forrest Lamp measured at a very short 32.25" arm length.

Julie'n Davenport had the longest arm length at 36.5".

Full chart-style Combine results listed here, will be updated throughout the Combine:

Noteworthy:
Leonard Fournette weighed the most for RBs at 240 lbs.
Donnel Pumphrey the lightest at 176 lbs.

Kareem Hunt, who was in the 220's during the 2016 season, dropped down to 208 lbs for the Senior Bowl.
However, he now has gotten back closer to his normal weight, coming in at 216 lbs.

D'Onta Foreman has dropped some weight from this past season, going from 249 lbs down to 233 lbs.

Most of the RBs that people have been mocking outside of Fournette, Foreman, and Perine are all in the 210-220 lb range, which is a good size for a workhorse RB.

Prototype LT who is 21 years old with 43 games of top notch college experience. I don't think he ever fell too far down the boards that matter. 

My only worry is health. The big knock on Bama is guys come out of there beat up. And since he played every game possible you know he played through some stuff. What was it? Is it healed? And will it effect him long term? If he checks out health wise he should be on our short list of guys we consider at 9. 

Dude is a brute. Sure he needs some work. But guys are not going through him, they have to go around. And with Andy's quick release we could make it work while the youngin improves.

"The main reason that I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and their teenage years working and sweating while we were all home in the air conditioning," 


It's also worth noting that some are projecting him as a guard, not a T at the next level.  The fact that other highly touted Alabama tackles like DJ Fluker and James Carpenter were forced to move inside in the pros doesn't bode well for him being a quality T at the next level.

There was like a gram of weed in the car. And they couldnt prove who the gun belonged to. From what I have seen everbody at Bama says that was an out of character incident.

I just dont see how anyone gets drafted before him to play tackle. His top competition is..Hip surgery with one season of division 1 ball. Or 25 year old sub 300lbs guy with 1 season of division 1 ball. Im taking the 5 star true freshman starter, with 43 games in the SEC, outland trophy winning all american all day every day over those two.

If the Panthers dont do anything about their tackle situation in free agency I dont see how they pass on him. Hell the Jets currently need two tackles. As of now I dont think he even gets to us.

Hooker has a shitload of surgeries going. Solomon lacks prototype size. Allen has some medical concerns. The QBs are the QBs. Dalvin cook has medical fumbles and arrests. Taco isnt elite. The two WR arent surefire top 10s. Foster doesnt cause turnovers.
