Some research:

Fisher does indeed have 32 inch arms. He was projected as a guard by most and he was actually expected to get selected between the 5th-7th round.

Obviously the small school status pushed him down. But man, I hope he comes in and adjusts quickly. Guys like him and Poe, all they need is to get their technique up to NFL standards to take full advantage of their superior athletic traits compared to most of the league.

I can see why long arms are better on the tackle position versus the guard position. Still, if he has good handspeed, and he does look like he has fast hands - maybe short arms at the tackle position isn't such a detriment.

I think the issue is that in today's NFL, he'd be at a serious disadvantage physically on the outside. On the interior though, he could be great if he can put it altogether.

IMO, we're looking at potentially the next Brandon Scherff if he pans out. Absolutely nasty, mauling, freak athlete on the inside.

Imagine if Poe and Fisher BOTH got adjusted to the NFL and started doing what they did in college.

I wonder if either would work out at center. I do love their mentalities. Would be a great addition to our run game.

i know those two are long shots but I love the way they play. Would be awesome if our line was
Williams - Bank - Poe/fisher - Poe/Fisher - Burford

i believe burford has long arms - they're almost 35 inches.

A dominant all pro center in Kyle's run game will give him such a terrifying advantage in the run game, in my opinion.

If Jaylon Moore beats him out at 3rd string T, he just needs to retire. He's got an easy path to making the roster as an UDFA.

Same here.

can someone share some insight into what Oline arm length is normal or average?

32 inch doesn't sound too bad to me but I don't have much reference

aaron banks has 33 1-8 inch arms. Trent has 34 inch. The quick reading Ive done have it at teams ideally like 34 inch

Fisher is 32" even.

34" is considered ideal. 33" tends to be the hard cutoff. 35+ is considered freaky.

Those numbers would be for a tackle. I seriously doubt they will put him anywhere but OG where 32 inches wont be too much of a big deal. There have been All Pro Guards have been in that range including David DeCastro (32.4) , Marshall Yanda (32.5) and Josh Sitton (32)

Amen to that.
