Defenses aren't actually getting bigger. Base defenses are usually nickel defenses now, and linebackers today are usually smaller than the ones from 20 , 25 years ago.

It's all about the inches
His pass protection coulda been a lot better. Not to mention Bill Obrien did him no favors. Thats where he takes his game to another level. When the play breaks down. If Bryce Young was 6'2, they'd talk about him as a generational talent.
For real. The Bama line ain't what it used to be. Plus this past year his receivers were hella unreliable.

It's funny that entire 2015 Denver Broncos Super Bowl Champions defense was full of T-Rex arm defendersyeah
nick bosa wingspan was 16th percentile and armlength was 37th percentile
edit: I actually looked it up and Von was 86th percentile in arm length
Even DeMarcus Ware: 6'4 with a 33" arm length (shorter than Von Miller's)
Yet they were practically the most dominant defense I've ever seen up front.

In addition to incredible technique Von Miller was pure burst and was an insanely maneuverable athlete.

I'm guessing if you're looking at mockdraftable for that percentile he's 86th percentile for OLB, but when you combine that with EDGE and DE rushers, that's around the 60% range.
OLB in a 4-3 I think tend to have shorter arms, Von was 3-4 OLB though with Denver I think so maybe that's what that site is basing it off.
Brian Burns got longer arms and he's ranked about 60% when you filter based on the EDGE or DE position:

Very important question....Russ and Brees had abnormally large hands, 10.25 inches....especially for their height. Dak Prescott checks in at 10.88 inches and he's only a couple of inches taller (6'2").
By comparison, LeBron is 6'8" and his hand span is about 9.25 inches from what I've read.
