49ers select Upton Stout-CB-Western Kentucky with the 100th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

Yes, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's an absolute powerhouse relative to his peers.

There were 10 DBs with shorter arms at the combine--all of whom outweighed Upton--he outbenched them all. In fact, Upton was the 3rd lightest DB at the combine, yet he outbenched every single DB there. Dude is a f**king bull.

I did say he was stout :)

10 of 60 DBs invited to the combine had arms 29.x" and shorter? Damn. That's the most surprising stat of the day.

I can only find 8 DB at the combine with shorter arms, and this doesn't help your argument ... ONLY 2 actually participated in the bench at the combine and both ended up in the top 10 overall in bench for DBS.

The fact that #2 in DB bench had 1 fewer lift with 2.5" longer arms is actually a little more impressive, but he's a BIG DB.

2 less lifts, 20lbs more. Not sure I'd describe that as more impressive.

I know it's not as big a deal, my point was that it still matters, and some slot receivers are going to have tools to exploit his size.

If he's decent it means Demo moves outside is my guess.

Part of my concern is Saleh wasn't a bump scheme guy and my guess is Upton would be best playing very physical at the point.

Either way I'm excited to see what comes of this.

Yeah I mean you toss a big NCB in there like Oliver, he still can get exposed plenty.

stout actually has longer arms than Barron and damn near the same as Johnson…while being 2" and 4" shorter.

one NCB I wanted last yr was Mike Sainristil, DC grabbed him top of the 2nd. Damn near identical measureables. For me personally, if I'm taking a boundary CB early I need some sort of thresholds there as far as length and speed goes (there's always outliers)…above all I want that twitchy CB that has the mentality of being a dog. Willing tackler.

we will see how he goes, if he ends up as a K Williams type of NCB, that's a home run. I still feel like Demo should be out NCB though.

This kid has already taken the majority of 1st team snaps at Nickel, and he plays much bigger than he is. CB sacks are back on the menu fellas.

It seems he also has that heart and desire to learn, I think we have a good one here.

Stout is good in press man, not as good off ... I wonder what happens when the opponents scheme against him.

Love the dawg factor but that ties in with availability. I hope these kids stay healthy.
