The FCS offensive line quintet had a solid Wednesday at the NFL Draft Combine when it came to measurements — something NFL franchises pay close attention to, especially when it comes to the big guys up front.
Elon's Oli Udoh certainly will have eyeballs on him when it comes to the rest of the meat market measurables he'll do on Thursday (bench press) and Friday (on-field drills). When you compare Udoh to the NFLDraftScout Top 10 tackle prospects, Udoh had the widest wingspan — which for offensive tackles is a very big deal — and also the second longest measurement of his arms. He also would be the third tallest tackles if you compared him to the Top 10 prospects in the link above.

Morgan State's Joshua Miles — who some see as a guard prospect but most see as a tackle — has the longest arm length (as mentioned above), the No. 3 wingspan behind Udoh and Ole Miss star Greg Little (who is considered a first-round lock). If compared with guards, Miles' measurements blow away the rest of the NFLDraftScout Top 10 guard prospects.
Alabama State's Tytus Howard had the third largest hands when compared to Top 10 tackles, while Villanova's Ethan Greenidge — who like Miles has been listed as a tackle or guard, depending on who is listing — had one of the top wingspans among tackles, and if he was grouped with guards, he'd move up even more.
Take a look (below) at how the five FCS offensive linemen stacked up against the Alabamas, Oklahomas and Ohio States.
NOTE: We listed Miles and Greenidge in both position lists for easy comparison.
