NFL Draft: Cincinnati Bengals select Jonah Williams as No. 11 pick

Former Alabama football offensive tackle, Jonah Williams became the No. 11 pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Williams was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Williams was the first offensive lineman chosen in the first round of the 2019 Draft.

About half an inch in arm length caused some NFL experts to question if Williams could play tackle at the next level. Reportedly, some teams only considered Jonah as a guard. The measurement causing some team’s pause was thirty-three and five-eighths inches. Thirty-four to thirty-six inches is considered an acceptable range for NFL tackles.
