Senior Bowl Preview: The Weigh Ins

By NMVike on Jan 23 2012, 2:05p 21

I really enjoyed doing the recap of the East West Shrine game, and Chris was gracious enough to put it up on the front page, so I thought I would continue with the theme now that it's Senior Bowl week. After the jump I will include the rosters from both squads and their weigh in results.

Why are these weigh ins important? Pro scouts want to know each prospect's height, weight, hand size and arm length. Keep in mind the position each player plays and how his measurements might affect him. For example, arm length is crucial for offensive tackles, DBs and WRs. Arm length helps OT's keep pass rushers further away from the pocket (34" is typically the cut off point for OT prospects), and it helps DBs and WRs win the battle at the LOS (jam) and win the battle for catching the ball. For QB prospects, I always look at height and hand size.

I put some of the more surprising (good or bad) measurements in bold font. For example Iowa St. DB Leonard Johnson measured in at 5'9" and his arm length is 28.75". I am officially off the "draft Leonard Johnson" bandwagon.
