NFL Combine 2023 measurements have been released for defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backers. Find the height, weight, hand size, and arm length for all of the top defensive prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft below.
The 2023 NFL combine is here. Both fans and NFL teams will get a chance to see the nation’s best prospects display their talents on a level playing field in Indianapolis. With just over a month left before the NFL Draft, executives will try to pick the best athletes from the pack.
Sometimes, NFL combine measurements are just as important as athletic testing numbers, especially for quarterbacks. In particular, hand size is one of the most important metrics to watch for at the NFL Combine. Bigger hands mean better grip on the ball but that hasn’t stopped several quarterbacks excel with less-than-ideal hand measurements (Joe Burrow).
Height, weight, and arm size are particularly important on defense.
Here are the measurements for the top defensive prospects at the 2023 NFL Combine.
Defensive Line Measurements
Georgia star Jalen Carter measured in at 6-foot-3 and 314 lbs but had an arm length of just 33 ½ inches. Will Anderson Jr. came in at 6-foot-3 ½ and 253 lbs with an arm length of 33 ⅞ inches. Both are expected to be picked near the top of the first round.
A few other notable measurements include Clemson’s Bryan Bresee, who was among the defensive lineman with the shortest arms (32 ½ inches), and Lukas Van Ness, whose hands measured a whopping 11 inches, the most of any player on the defensive side of the ball.
