    Those arms are shorter than most tackles, but not T-Rex short.

    He is big and tall, so he probably has an impressive wingspan which helps catch the pass rusher. But in a straight on bull rush charge, where arms are out front, his would be on the short side. Though not on the short side on the Packers.

    Lang 32 3/4
    Bach 34
    Sitton 33 5/8
    Bulaga 33 1/4"
    Linsley 32"

    Clifton 33"
    Tauscher Did not possess arms that could be measured
    Joe Thomas 32 1/2

    Lots of numbers here: http://www.milehighreport.com/2015/4...offensive-line
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I remember when Bulaga was drafted, and one of the genius writers asked him if he was concerned that his arms were too short? He said he didn't know, because he had always played with them that way!

    MM was once asked about Bulaga's "short" arms. He said he had never seen a guy who couldn't play Tackle because his arms were too short, but he saw plenty of guys who couldn't play Tackle because their feet were too slow.

    Moving and adjusting his feet were one of the knocks on Walker, which is why scouts had him on the interior.
