There must be a day for this. Because I have short arms. You have short arms. We all have short arms!

Most especially Tonga (31”) and Campbell (32” and change).

Short-armers to the rescue!
 
How STRONG are those arms?
Tonga did 35 bench presses at 225 pounds. That's elite. So, SBC, VERY strong.

But he was old (Mormon missionary) and had short 31" arms. NFL didn'tt think much of him for that.

But he is exactly what the doctor ordered for run defense.
 
Short arms means ****
A lot of us did not even give those short arms a thought
Can’t say the same for many others
I mean why would you watch the tape to see how this guy played in the SEC when you could simply look at a tape measure to determine how good he would be. I mean seriously if you just looked at the physical testing and measurements that #12 guy shouldnt have been drafted.
 
You gotta pick them up just to say Hello.
 
I'm all about drafting t rex body plans for our oline now

I think you are obsessed with the short arm.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Yes. I'm proud of my short arms. I can't dunk a basketball. But d%#*!@t there should be a day celebrating my achievement! Short arms!
 
Another short armed guy is the former first-rounder on the Saints Bryan Bresee, a DT. Only 32 1/4”. Looks smaller than his listed height and weight.

Disappointing career. But he took it up several notches last week.

Tragic story about his younger sister dying of cancer. He has a big tattoo honoring her on his arm. He played collegiately at Clemson.
 
Arm length was always overrated, its all in the wrist.
 
Or hear me out and this is wild, I know, but....

Focus on.... DOES HE HAVE THE SMARTS TO PLAY THE GAME?

Most guys that don't have it at all physically don't even make it onto draft boards. In the NFL, it's the ones who know how to manipulate, the ones who study, the ones who can anticipate because they have made it their life's work to know every nuance of the game, that survive.

Need I remind you of Brady's scouting reports?

Or Jerry Rice's kinda crap 40?
 
Yeah, can't do nothing with short arms...
