valuable info, glad to see he wants to show others.  You have to have knowledge to pass it on. 

For what it's worth, Kelvin (34.75) doesn't have a ton more wingspan than Devin (33.5), but d'amned if it isn't a game of inches.

Looks thicker to me. Maybe I just forgot how massive he is...

​Exact same height and weight as Cam. Getting bigger and taller has been our GM's focus past 3 years. Only players under 6 feet tall are the RBs and WR Ted Ginn.

That's just arm length, not wingspan.  His wingspan is probably at least 6" longer than Funchess.  Wingspan = fingertips to fingertips so it includes both armlength and shoulder width.

​Add Philly Brown, Damiere Byrd, DeAndre Pressley, Mike Brown, and Kurt Coleman to that list, you're a few short* (see what I did there)

​Thanx for Coleman forgot him. Now Corey Brown I had at 6 feet last year. Did he shrink an inch this off-season? The other 3 I left off as not having a strong chance to make the final 53.

​fair point.  They don't measure that, that I'm aware, in the NFL (or at least the media doesn't report it).

    • Thank you, I’m hoping Bryce, Canales, and this new Oline works out. If Bryce becomes a franchise QB then even regardless of our record I will be very happy.
    • Thanks to BC's versatility and the addition of Nijman as a swing OT, the costs we have spent on the OL may save us a roster spot.  First, Brady Christensen has played OT and OG for Carolina, and he has always been a notch below average, according to PFF.  Last season, they talked about giving him looks at center, but his injury prevented that from happening.   Most of his experience here is at G, but he also has swing OT abilities.  Nijman is an excellent swing OT, an important addition that gives us Ekwonu insurance and depth at both T spots.  If you consider Cade May has been mentioned as the new backup Center behind Corbett, then he also has the ability to play 3 positions.  Here is how you have solid depth three deep and you do so with better and fewer players.  In the past, the OL has been a madhouse when a lineman goes down--we had 2.  It seems we had someone new in the game every week.  The OL needs to know the system and they need to communicate.  If I were coach, I would carry 8 total OL on the 53-man roster, saving at least one roster spot, and I would feel confident that I had depth on three levels.  Here is what it would look like: (I would keep Zavala on the PS to begin the season--he needs it)  Green indicates a free agent addition
    • Nice to have a front office that actually is trying to address the o-line for once.
