Every year at the NFL Combine, the measurables tell a story before the drills ever begin. Height, weight, arm length, and hand size don’t determine who wins in the trenches, but they help clarify role projection. For interior defensive linemen, anchor ability and reach are critical traits.

Below are the official measurements for the defensive tackles.

Among the defensive tackles, Dontay Corleone was the heaviest at 340 pounds, giving him the densest frame in the group, while Skylar Gil-Howard was the lightest at 280 pounds.

Height-wise, Caleb Banks stood tallest at 6-foot-6, with Dontay Corleone measuring the shortest at 6-foot-0 1/2. Banks also led the group in arm length at an impressive 35 inches, while Skylar Gil-Howard recorded the shortest arms at 30 3/4 inches. The variation in size across this class shows the clear separation between traditional nose tackles and longer, more versatile interior defenders.
