I like Lowry as a sleeper because teams seemed to have allowed the short arms thing to distract them from the excellent tape the player had produced, including the amazing fact that he got those short arms on the football a total of fourteen times over his career with deflections, batted passes and picks. Not bad for a guy who could have a career in the sideshows as the Alligator Boy.
Like Martinez who went just before him, Lowry may get considerable playing time early in his rookie season and then give the coaches no reason not to give him more. He is a smart and active football player who--in a way--went where he was "supposed" to go because he has the same arm length as guys six inches shorter than he is. But the tape suggests he has the tools to be a highly productive player.
