thats what I was referring to.
The weight's right on the money for what we're accustomed to with Freeman, though he did check in just under his school-listed height of six feet. Additional measurements for Freeman included a hand size of 9 4/8 inches, an arm length of 32 inches and a total wingspan of 76 6/8 inches. Rotoworld's Thor Nystrom sees Freeman's combine testing as critical to his ultimate draft slot. We already know that he's a sturdy back, but his 40-yard dash time is going to be one to watch. Freeman's trying to lock in a Day 2 selection with his performance in Indianapolis.
What stands out most is Jones' 8 3/4 inch hands, but Jones certainly does not have a fumbling problem as he possesses the third best fumble rate in the class. Jones has earned plenty of comparisons to Jamaal Charles in recent week, and this weigh-in is very similar.
Some might show pause with Williams' 33-inch arms as it just hits the threshold for a number of evaluators. With that said, a few people already suggested a possible fit at guard in Williams future. As of now, he is frequently mentioned as one of the top tackles in the class. Williams also has 10 1/2 inch hands and a 77 7/8 inch wingspan.
This is lead ball carrier size for Michel, who split time with Nick Chubb at Georgia over the last three or so seasons. The rest of Michel's profile includes 9 1/8 inch hands, 31 1/3 inch arms and 73 5/8-inch wingspan. Rotoworld Josh Norris has gone on the record many times declaring his love for Michel's game, but his tendency to fumble the football is a major red flag.
We are already excited to see Barkley's athletic testing numbers at 233-pounds, a weight that will only aid his composite score. To fill out the rest of his measurements, Barkley has 9 1/2 inch hands, 31 3/8 arms and 74 1/4 inch wingspan. A major piece of Barkley's foundation is his athleticism, and he will put it on display on Friday.
Perhaps most impressively, Nelson possesses offensive tackle length, with 33 3/4-inch arms, with a wingspan of 82 5/8 inches and hands that measured 10 3/8 inches. Nelson might be the cleanest prospect in the draft, and these measurements only back up that sentiment.
Assuming Hernandez is healthy and an illness or injury didn't cause the weight loss, dropping pounds is a common strategy for the NFL Combine. Simply put, a lighter body moves more quickly. Hernandez's playing weight could be closer to 340, as he produced a great week at the Senior Bowl.
I heart Sony Michel. Think a combo like Freeman/Coleman as the floor with insane ceiling potential. And thanks for these updates BN!

Partial list of measurements...

The comments about Barkley's weight are laughable... Same crap was said about Fournette last year...
Rosen's weight concerned some prior to weigh-ins, but he checks in heavier than Sam Darnold by five pounds. Rosen has a shoulder injury and at least one concussion on his resume, but the true pocket passer is extremely consistent in his mechanics and motion which can likely be contributed to his tennis background. He is expected to throw at the NFL Combine.
Jackson is almost identical to Andy Dalton in size. Therefore we can't wait to see Dalton line up as a receiver. Jackson, who decided against hiring an agent, seems prepared to throw for the first time during this draft process. Jackson also has 33 1/8-inch arms and a wingspan of 77 5/8-inches. We look forward to him proving many doubters wrong, now and in the future.
This is simply a check mark for Darnold who passes all thresholds. The USC quarterback announced he will not throw in Indianapolis but will complete athletic testing. Quarterbacks take the field on Saturday along with tight ends and receivers.
Ridley also has 9 1/8-inch hands, 31 5/8-inch arms and a wingspan of 75 3/4-inches. It isn't prototypical No. 1 receiver size, and Ridley might be viewed as a bit light, but his routes and ability to instantly create separation off the line or in his breaks is super impressive. He's the favorite to be the first receiver off the board.
Sutton also boasts 9 3/4-inch hands, 32 3/8-inch arms and a 79 1/4-inch wingspan. Sutton played in a difficult situation with SMU's quarterbacks, but he showed incredible fluidity and athleticism at times with the Mustangs. He's not perfect, especially with how Sutton tends to clap at the football, but if the pieces fit Sutton could be the receiver who emerges as a true No. 1 for an NFL team.
I don't see any of the TEs coming off the board Day 1, maybe the SD kid, lots of interesting guys in Day 2, early Day 3...
@"BarrNone55" said:Mike Gesicki - TE - Nittany LionsPenn State TE Mike Gesicki measured 6-foot-5 4/8 inches and 247 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine. Penn State padded Gesicki out to the tune of 6-foot-6, 252 pounds on their listing for the 2017 season. He doesn't quite have that stature, but close. Some of his other dimensions are quite impressive -- not only do Gesicki's hands measure 10 2/8 inches, he also boasts a just-plain-silly wingspan of 82 1/8 inches. The tight end is off to a strong start to the evaluating season, having already put in a productive Senior Bowl week. He should test well in athletic drills in Indianapolis. Gesicki is attempting to secure a Day 1 selection.I don't see any of the TEs coming off the board Day 1, maybe the SD kid, lots of interesting guys in Day 2, early Day 3...
6 foot 5 and 4/8ths? who the fuck comes up with this shit? are we sure it wasnt 16/32nds? or maybe 5/10ths? :p
"Not only has Kirk been excellent in the team interviews, but his college coaching staff have raved about him to scouts and NFL coaches," Campbell writes. The Aggies wideout checked into the combine measuring 5-foot-10 3/8 inches, 201 pounds with a a respectable hand measurement of 9 7/8 inches, an arm length of 30 3/8 inches and a wingspan of 72 2/8 inches. Already rocking his interviews, he's a player who should test well in addition.
Move along, nothing to see here. These marks are identical to those he checked in with at the Senior Bowl. Allen's also working with sizable 10 1/8-inch mitts, an arm length of 33 2/8 inches and a wingspan of 73 3/8 inches. All indications are that he should perform well in combine interviews. Throwing drills, we shall see.
McGlinchey 27 reps...Price could not complete...walked off rubbing left shoulder per NFL Network...
