Go Go Gadget Arms: Ryan Watts Length Sets Record Mark

If you listen to The Terrible Podcast, you quickly find out half the show is Dave Bryan and me asking and attempting to answer our own questions. The last couple episodes, we’ve been discussing seventh-round DB Ryan Watts’ arm length. With 34 1/2-inch arms, he’s longer than Joey Porter.

The question we had: has anyone topped Watts’ mark? After Friday’s show, I finally decided to sit down and find out. The answer? No. Well, maybe.

It depends on how you classify him. As a cornerback, the position he primarily played at Texas, his arms are longer than anyone else’s.
