Will this effect his stock?

Today is a day hundreds of college kids become shorter, lighter, and slower.

That was his listed height/weight, so not really.

31 1/2" arms and 10 3/8" hands.

The arm length is concerning; the huge hands are a plus and show up on film as he's got fairly violent punch.

He should destroy the bench press given his stocky mass and short arms.

At pass rush, his height and arm length will create a ceiling for him but I think that ceiling was already there. His lack of length showed in his play. He can make up for that with his 40 and 3 cone but those numbers aren't going to surprise any teams or scouts

He missed so many sacks due to this. It was frustrating to watch.

Yeah, its definitely not optimal, but its overcome-able. Melvin Ingram was actually even shorter with the same arm length and he put up 8 and 10.5 sacks the last two seasons for the Chargers.

How do they measure the hands? I'd like to know my own.

Outside of the thumb to the outside of the pinky while fully extended I believe.

This is why he's more suited to play a 3-4 OLB position in the NFL rather than the 4-3 DE position.

The amazing thing with Lawson is he still finished with a lot of sacks despite missing a shite ton of them. He could've easily had 15 last year if he'd not whiff on so many.

Same measurables although Dwight ran a 4.48 at the combine which is crazy good.

To measure your hand like the pros, place your hand palm down on a flat surface and stretch your fingers as far as possible. The measurement is from the outside of your thumb to the outside of your pinky finger.

I find that hard to believe. I was about 1/4 inch shy of 9 and I wouldn't consider myself to have above average hand size.

Same here. I'm just reporting what the Cleveland Brown's link said.
