The arms which were measured at the Combine below the league’s standard minimum of 33 inches.
The ramifications of those measurements are obvious.
First to Campbell himself.
Either way there are millions on the line for him.
Second, and more importantly, that fraction of an inch affects me personally.
The Combine number stood for Campbell until this point because there was nothing to compare it to.
Thats not to say that the Combine and showcase games always match up they dont.
But its usually a difference of an eighth of an inch or two in either direction.
This is something observers started making note of well before Campbells second measurement in Baton Rouge on Wednesday.
So they’re to the detriment of the player.
It’s part of being human.
But when the mistakes only go in one direction, that’s probably not a coincidence.
It’s a pattern.
These second, longer measurements werealso taken by the NFL.
Begging the question, what gives?
If it was just one or two players, we could maybe chalk it up to simple inaccuracy.
When it’s all of them?
Then something else entirely is going on here.
it’s possible for you to accuse me of peddling in conspiracy theories here if you wish.
And this just proves you’re compromised.
But in any case like this, you should always follow the money.
Or ask the questionQue bono?Who benefits?
Not shockingly, in this case it’s the NFL.
Highly drafted offensive tackles are expensive.
Lower drafted, T-Rex-armed guards or questionable hybrid OT/OGs are much cheaper.
It’s simple economics.
Which didn’t prevent anyone for making the case Brady was guilty.
Hopefully the truth will come out and the offensive linemen of the Class of 2025 will get justice.
Just don’t hold your breath.
