It’s that time of year again where men around the age of 21 or so get parades around in the tightest fitting workout clothes imaginable to show that they’ve got the physique to play in the NFL.
Ah, who doesn’t love the Senior Bowl or eventually the combine where you hear more about arm length, hand size and wingspan than you do about actual football ability.
Just like recruiting is to college teams to being successful the attention to detail at these events can be what separates great draft classes from the awful ones for the 32 NFL teams.
With that in mind – four Notre Dame players from the 2019 squad took part in Tuesday’s weigh-ins at the annual Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Here’s how they measured out:
Chase Claypool, WR: 6-4.3″, 229 pounds, Arms – 33 1/8″, Hands – 10″, Wingspan – 80″
Jalen Elliott, S: 6-0.4″, 205 pounds, Arms – 32″, Hands – 9 1/8″, Wingspan – 76 5/8″
Alohi Gilman, S: 5-10.5″, 202 pounds, Arms – 31 5/8″, Hands – 9″, Wingspan – 73 3/8″
Troy Pride, Jr., CB: 5-11.3″, 193 pounds, Arms – 31 3/8″, Hands – 8 3/8″, Wingspan – 73 3/4″
