Billl Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 2 hours ago, PrimeTime101 said: this is true. how many passes have we seen received that went just over the fingertips of the defender? Probably not many when said defender has a 39” vertical. Those that did likely went over the receiver as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Just wondering wouldn’t wingspan be a better metric here. And then factor in vertical leaping ability for some situations at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Arm length is to help a CB knock the ball away when he is being blocked out by a WR. Rarely is it about out-jumping a reciever. That's how players like Levi was effective, the reach around... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaenon Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Is 30 inch long arms over/under a filterable metric on any stat websites? Edited May 7, 2022 by Kaenon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Haven’t read through any of this thread but I find it funny that I just saw an article about how our new fifth round WR has freakishly short arms….so there’s that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading up for players with short arms is a new trend in the NFL. The short arms might have been the reason for trading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 What percentage of the general population above 5'8" has under 30 inch arms? There probably aren't very many to begin with and less that are athletes that play football and less that play corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
