You probably didn't notice but she does appear to have long arms.

All kidding aside, Justin was amazing yesterday and did nothing but improve his draft stock. There was only one instance where his man got by him. He handled everything else that was thrown his way and had one beautiful pancake block. Several times you could see him drive his man back 10 yards or so. He stood two bull rushers straight up and was rarely pushed backwards all day. My favorite Justin Pugh play was when rusher did the Freeney spin, Pugh pushed him aside and took on another rusher who tried to fill the opening.
Dave I thought the article by Michael Cohen was unfair to Justin.Arm length is one reason I think Justin could possibly morph into a center in the NFL. He joked with me that it was the only position he could not step in an play right away at SU and that maybe he should start learning it. He may have been a prophet. We'll see. I don't think he can bulk up to NFL guard size and maintain his great athleticism - his footwork and mechanics are flawless with his current frame. Perhaps he remains at tackle in the right system. In any event, this is not new information to him and probably wasn't to the draft advisory board when it gave him its assessment. The NFL, for good or bad, is a league of "measurables."
