However, what I find interesting is he has the same arm length (33.125") as Alex Cappa, who did well on the outside this past week at the Senior Bowl and is projected to stay at OT in the NFL.
The difference between Wynn and Cappa is height. Cappa is 6'5" and Wynn is 6'2".
Wynn actually is heavier (308 lbs vs 299 lbs) and a larger wingspan (79.125" vs 77.75").

So if people believe Cappa can stay at OT for the NFL, why not the same for Wynn?
Is the height really that big of a detriment? I would think Wynn might actually have an advantage being smaller to prevent shorter DL getting leverage?

Perception is reality.  We all know what the prototypical OT looks like, size-wise.

But, as you say, today's pass rushers are shorter guys.  Could it be like QB's, where the 6'5" guy was once considered ideal and shorter guys had to prove themselves and did?

I guess the problem is who would be the first team to play a 6'2" guy at Tackle.
