this is true. how many passes have we seen received that went just over the fingertips of the defender? 

Probably not many when said defender has a 39” vertical.  Those that did likely went over the receiver as well.

Asante Samuel

 

probably Brent Grimes

Just wondering wouldn’t wingspan be a better metric here.  And then factor in vertical leaping ability for some situations at least

At least you have 2 good slot corners now.

Arm length is to help a CB knock the ball away when he is being blocked out by a WR. Rarely is it about out-jumping a reciever.

That's how players like Levi was effective, the reach around...

Is 30 inch long arms over/under a filterable metric on any stat websites?

All of them. Every single one.

Haven’t read through any of this thread but I find it funny that I just saw an article about how our new fifth round WR has freakishly short arms….so there’s that!

Trading up for players with short arms is a new trend in the NFL. The short arms might have been the reason for trading up.

What percentage of the general population above 5'8" has under 30 inch arms? 

 

There probably aren't very many to begin with and less that are athletes that play football and less that play corner.
