West Virginia has two players in the Senior Bowl this year, and if you’re not familiar with the event, it’s a college all-star showcase of sorts. The North and South teams are coached by NFL staffs, so players get a pretty unique job interview before the draft and before rosters are built afterward. There are scouts everywhere, too, and it’s generally agreed that everything in Mobile, Ala., that precedes the game is more important than the game.

That would included the hands-on practices, but also the check-in, where players are weighed and measured. Good news: Rasul Douglas is big. Not good news: Tyler Orlosky is not as big.

Among the linemen on the North and South rosters, he has the smallest wingspan and the second-shortest arms. I’m going to bet he doesn’t care, and he was always going to be an interior lineman, but if measureables matter — and Orlosky won’t be engineering no-huddle offenses and making checks at the line in the NFL — then Orlosky gave people something to consider.
