I Thought Herremans Had Short Arms?

One of the knocks I remember about Todd Herremans coming out of college is that he was a little tall for a guard but had arms that were a little short for a tackle. 

But according to this article:

The way Bears general manager Jerry Angelo sees it, 32-inch arms are short, 33-inch arms are acceptable, and 34-inch arms are ideal...

Data on arm length was available for 63 NFL offensive tackles who started a majority of games last season. On average, the arm length of tackles was 3315/16 inches.

And according to this draft page, Herremans has 33-inch arms.  So am I misremembering here?  Or is this just one of those overblown things people say when someone is drafted and then it never matters again?

Actually curious to know if anyone remembers anything differently...
