Burks, London impress at WR weigh-in … It’s only the eyeball test, but both Treylon Burks of Arkansas and USC’s Drake London were able to check off some boxes at the this morning’s weigh-in/measurement session for WRs at the scouting combine in Indianapolis. Courtesy of Steelers Depot, Burks measured in at 6-2, 225 with 33.5-inch arms and 10-inch hands, while London came in at 6-3.7, 219 with 33 inch armsand 9.5-inch hands. Among the other receivers considered to have first-round potential for the upcoming draft, Ohio State’s Garrett Wilson was a little smaller than expected as he measured in at 5-11.5 and just 183 pounds, although he does have 32-inch arms and big 10-inch hands. Alabama’s Jameson Williams also weighed in about ten pounds lighter than listed at just 180 pounds on a 6-1.5 frame, although he too has decent 32-inch arms. At the same time, though, the ‘other’ Bama/Buckeye WRs – Chris Olave of OSU and the Tide’s John Metchie – both recorded relatively short arms at 31 and 30.5 inches respectively. So did Kyle Phillips of UCLA and Kentucky’s Wan’Dale Robinson who were both under 30 inches. In fact, Robinson, who is only 5-8 has positively Gator arms at barely 27.5 inches, although its likely most NFL teams weren’t expecting much more. Meanwhile, a couple of other receivers who did kind of jump off the stage this morning were Alec Pierce of Cincinnati who measured in at 6-2.5 and 211 pounds with 33-inch arms and Texas Tech’s Erik Ezukanma who is 6-2, 210 with 33-inch arms.
