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.

      Coker to IR; Renfrow signed to 53

      I’m really having a hard time understanding how this actually went down. -Renfrow expected to make roster as 2nd/3rd string. -Panthers cut Renfrow; Keep Brycen Tremayne, and add UDFA receiver (Dalevon Campbell) to active roster.  -Canales/Morgan say it’s totally up to Hunter whether he wants to come back or not, they would love to have him.    -Renfrow not signed to PS -Panthers trade Adam Thielen -Hunter Renfrow signed to active roster with a raise after an injury to Coker nobody heard about and is likely to start.    Our WR room is now: -Xavier Legette (2024 1st round pick) -Tet McMillan (2025 1st round pick) -Hunter Renfrow (1 year out of the league) -David Moore (Canales’ friend? A guy way past his prime) -Jimmy Horn (Likely a Shi Smith reprint, but has potential 2025 6th round pick, weighs 174 lbs) -Brycen Tremayne (2023 UDFA who was on Washington’s PS for 2 years and caught 1 pass for -2 yards and averaged 300 yards per year at Stanford) -Dalevon Campbell (2025 UDFA had a good preseason but had 1463 yards and 3 TDs over 5 college seasons at 3 different schools). What the hell is going on?

      Not uncommon for week 1 games. Especially against good defenses. It’s why I prefer my team play these small schools week 1 if they are going to play them. Gives the offense time to get calibrated.
