Does arm length really matter to NFl tackles?

I’ve seen some concern about Brady Christensen’s arm length being a problem. Well I have good news. The stats show it doesn’t really matter.

on top of that it’s good to note that Brady graded very high and was ranked top 20 in offensive linemen over the past 20 years or so. so yes he can still be a successful NFL tackle. If history has shown us anything it’s that athleticism doesn’t always beat out skill and experience.

The idea is that measurables can make up for bad technique since snap to snap you can have inconsistency with technique due to a variety of moves a defense can make. If that extra 1-2 inches can keep a defender off your qb when in an unfavorable position, all the better. It's like QBs that can launch it despite having guys draped over them.
