Fano's Arm Length Impact on Eagles Draft

0:00On this March 3rd, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano started draft season as a top 10 prospect, way above the Eagles pick at number 23. But after the scouting combine, his stock has slipped into the late first round, right in Philadelphia's wheelhouse. The big reason traces back to his arm length, measured at 32 and 1-8 inches, shorter than the usual 33-inch benchmark for, tackles. Now Clemson's Caleb Lomu has jumped ahead of the 6-foot-5, 311-pound Fano in the rankings. It's not a deal breaker, though. Last year, LSU's will Campbell went fourth overall to the Patriots, with arms at 32 and 5-8 inches. He powered their 10-win jump in Super Bowl run, shining as a rookie before a postseason NCL injury hurt his play. Observers now push for Campbell to slide inside, to guard where short arms matter less. Meanwhile, Fano sounds ready for anything, even center of needed.
