Yesterday I profiled potential Bronco draftee Teven Jenkins.
Jenkins is the most technically sound offensive tackle in this Draft, but many think he will be unable to play right tackle in the NFL (he played right tackle at OSU). The reason they give for this is his arm length.
Jenkens’ arms are only 32 7/8 inches long. The average for offensive tackles who have been drafted since the folks at the Combine started measuring is 34 1/8 inches. Most guys with arms that are shorter than 33 inches end up playing guard (or even center) in the NFL.
