      I think they had his arm length at 33 7/8 " That is below ideal ( 34-35+")

        So, he's at almost 34" arms--not exactly T-Rex material...

          Again, this has been debunked, so who cares how long his arms are?

          Joe Thomas was the best LT in football for virtually his whole career and he had 32" arms.

            LT arm length is still a key measurable by scouts debunked or not. They liked Mcneil because he was 6'7 and had long arms (36" ?) etc.

              Outstanding legs, and I'm a leg man.

              Hell get a lot of practice reps against Ingram and Bosa, so that will test and hopefully improve him quickly.

              But as a 3rd rounder, you can't PS him.
              Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                I think like pbboy posted, he will eventually replace Okunf if all goes well. We shall see..

                  I'm having the same reaction as when we wasted a pick on that kid from Canada some years ago. Think he was a defensive lineman. Can't remember his name now.

                    Yep. You can't coach this:
                    • Pass sets have NFL potential with adequate balance, anchor and foot quickness
                    • Quick sets out on top of edge rushers to land pre-emptive strike

                        Sioux Falls? D-II. He has the resume of a 6th or 7th rounder. Being described as a huge reach by TT. We'll see

                          I had to look him up. Vaughn Martin from W. Ontario, 4th round. Was in the 2009 draft led off by Larry English. Only guy in that draft that was worthwhile was Louis Vasquez. AJ was so cocky then he threw away the 7th round pick as charity to a guy who never practiced (or so I remembered).
