Default Ingram's arms under 30"
@Kevin_Weidl Melvin Ingram checks in with an arm length under 30" (29 7/8). 4 year avg DEs (33 5/8) + OLBs (32 1/2)

Ouch. That really might be a fatal flaw. I've loved him through this whole process but that is just ridiculous.

Wow. If Tyron gets his mitts on him, he's a goner.

Can you play ball. Mike Singletary was called to short and too slow. Emmitt was not big enough. All these mesurement are good to take but bottom line are you a ball player can you bring it every weekend. Ingram has showed very good play and done so consistently. I'm not worried about his ability to play at this level.

How does he button his own pants?
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

I met singletary not too long ago. He's a small guy. It's amazing that he was able to be such a great player out in the middle of those monsters.

Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

Maybe he was just cold because he just got out of the pool.

thats huge having an underarm 30"....ooops nevermind sometimes I see things backwards
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair....Bertrand Russell

True. I think one mistake is using workout and combine numbers and tossing out what these player did over the course of their career. You don't play vs 3 cones in football, 40 yard means little or how much you bench. Every year is it the same thing the accomplishments on the field gets tossed out by some and the focus ends up being drills.

Not sure who he is, but he is full of ****. Ingram's arms were measured at 31.5" at the combine.

Combine Results
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.
