Here are all the measurements. The surprise to me was how short Barkley's arms are.

Why does a QB's arm length really matter at all? They aren't receivers, pass rushers, or OL? I realize you have to throw over the top of the line, but most of them use a 3/4 delivery anyway.

All depends on opinion I guess. Most successful Qbs have longer arms. Aaron rodgers, rgiii are both 6'2" and have about the same arm length of Geno and a few other prospects. Just 30" is pretty small wingspan for someone that height.

If both arms are that long you have 61" of wingspan right there, meaning you'd only need about 13" chest (across) for Barkley's wingspan to be proportionate to his height. I imagine his chest is broader than that.

There is virtually no advantage to having 2 more inches of wingspan as a QB. If anything it could increase your release time. But a couple inches is negligible. The fact that you called it a negative for Barkley was laughable.

Guys, I'm pretty sure they measure the circumference of the clenched fist.
