Karl Klug Has Tiny Little Arms

Last week Wes Bunting, Director of College Scouting for The National Football Post used the Twitter to voice his opinion on Karl Klug at the Shrine Game:
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he mentioned Klug's lack of a position at the next level. He also mentioned that he's not "sudden," which seems more like a way in which one acquires a disease to me, but it's a word Bunting loves to use.
I was a little surprised at the short arms comment, though. Mostly because the picture I have of him in my head is that of a Japanese terrormonster with the reach of Elton Brand. Having said that, I'm always wrong. So I looked back at some photos of The Incredible Gulk from this year to confirm, and holy shit was I ever wrong....
" Oh great. My balls itch. I'll guess I'll just have to rub them on Arnuad's facemask on this next play."
Despite having plenty of room to throw the ball, Adam Weber still managed to hit Klug's tiny hand on this play.
Bunting went on to post several more tweets obsessing about the size of Klug's arms*:
Come on Wes, what's there to be afraid of?
Anyway, here's to hoping that The Knight of Caledonia** is able to overcome his baby-sized arms and find a place on an NFL roster. Bulaga apparently had short little arms too, and things seemed to work out fine for him.
And in the end, I don't care what his measurements say. He'll always look like this in my mind:
* No, he didn't.
** I'm really disappointed that I didn't get to use that nickname until just now.
Side Note: I joined the Twitter for research purposes. Feel free to follow along.

It’s not bad. It’s one of the few places that has been praising Stanzi this week.

This is true
Bunting has been pimping Stanzi as a 3rd/4th round pick and has several times mentioned how good he’s looked at the Senior Bowl.

I haven't seen a consistent report on Ricky.
NFP loves him, Wes Bunting has said on multiple occassions that he’s the most NFL ready QB on the North roster, but other sites are saying that he’s awful. I imagine he’s still a 3rd round pick and he’ll be a solid back-up that may eventually Matt Schaub his way into a starting role.

Dude's got some of thelongest arms I've ever seen.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

Interesting
I seem to remember a story about Klug’s uniform smelling the worst during summer practices. Now we know why, it smelled of cabbage (to go along with his tiny hands, and arms).
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
the second thing that scares me
at least he has a career after football if he so chooses

So if he needs to gain weight and his arms are too short
why doesn’t he just drop weight and become Karl Klug the Ostrich Jockey?

See, that's where they went wrong.
They should have entered the draft as a pair, because what team wouldn’t want Kroul and Unusual Punishment on their roster.
by Eyeheartfreedumb on Jan 27, 2011 11:24 PM CST up reply actions
At least they are both still on practice squads.
If Klug has to spend a year or two on a practice squad, that would be OK.

Moeaki barely had more catches and yards as Gronk
Gronk had the most most TD’s (10) ever for a rookie TE. Not sure if the official teams have come out or when they do, but Tony Mo more then likely won’t be on the first team. He had a outstanding year regardless.
His biggest impact may have been just drawing attention.
Tony Mo’s threat as a receiver allowed KC to run him up the seam or over the middle to free Dwayne Bowe. The accolades will come for Tony, it may just take longer than most Hawkeye fans expect.

Competition from other excellent AFC players will also be an issue for him getting the credit people want him to get.
It took Dallas years to get love from All-Pro/Pro Bowl/whatever teams — in part because, oh yeah, Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates were also in the AFC. TonyMo will have to deal with Clark, Gates, the NE guys, and more.

about how, a post by HFMR about the size of Klug’s appendages would soon lead to a comment by Stanzi’s Ex about Ricky’s “appendage” size.
And I was wrong. Instead, she started ranting about how hot Wes Bunting is.

Where have you been HFMR
I feel like you haven’t posted anything since you and your mom crushed wine at 8 in the morning.
Speaking of linemen....
I am at the point where I think Iowa is neck and neck with Alabama for DeMatha’s Kouandjio. We have one advantage, and how significant will see, but Alabama’s OL coach just left for another job and the new line coach might be seen as a wildcard. The kid seems like he wants to be his own guy and not follow the brother. We’ll see. I won’t be surprised if he commits to Iowa.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Agreed
I think all three schools are at about 33% right now. Alabama since his brother goes there, Auburn for just winning the mNC and Iowa for our OL reputation. Bama could get hurt due to the OL coaching change and Iowa could get hurt due to our most recent fuck up. Auburn has been brought into play in a significant way.

"You’re talking about things that are real. That’s real. In those other dual meets, it wasn’t real, but now it’s real." ~ Tom Brands regarding the Iowa State dual.
I don't think Auburn is a serious threat for two reasons
1) they run a non-traditional offense and that’s not great prep for the NFL and 2) the guy that runs that offense will not be there in two years.
It’s either Bama or Iowa. It seems the dad likes Bama (one flight each weekend to see the home games, etc.) and the player likes Iowa. We find out if he’s got his own mind. I am pretty convinced he wants to play for Ferentz. The story on our OL over the years is pretty undeniable. We are now putting a guy into the first round about every other year.

And I'm pretty confident
We’ll have one in Reiff next year. If not the 1st, I really don’t see him sticking around for his senior year anyways.

I was thinking about it the other day.
I grew up playing sports and dreaming of getting the chance to play anything at Iowa. Had I been a major college recruit and had coaches come calling it is likely that I would have been more like a Jeff Horner and commit to Iowa as soon as humanly possible but what if Auburn came calling with $200k? I’d probably take the phone call.
Do you hate the SEC?
Because that might play into things. I think it would have kept me from accepting possible moneys from them.
For me, it would have been Iowa or Notre Dame (pre-Weis), and Iowa would have been leading the race to the tune of about 80% to 20%.

You're doing your hate wrong
if you hate the SEC, and Auburn came calling with $200k, you need to collect all the evidence, get in touch with the NCAA, work with them in secret to give Auburn the death penalty. Contact Iowa, explain the situation to KF. KF, being a guy who likes kids to be on the right side of rules, will happily hold a spot for you, so you can still come here.

Yeah I hate the SEC
but there’s a lot of hate that I could get over for $200k. /I also hate sushi but there’s a price point at which I’d force some down. I don’t think there are very many people who wouldn’t at least listen, however, I suspect that there are a lot of people who would claim that they would because it’s pretty easy knowing it’ll never happen.
A lot depends on your situation at age 18.
