    Makes sense. I've got a pretty good arm, but you give me an NFL sized football and I'm not hitting anybody in stride after about 35 yards due to my smaller hand size. But give me a junior league football and I can do some damage!

    I bet most of us could have 12" hands and it would not help. Throwing and hitting a guy in stride that runs a 4.3 is a far diff animal than anything most of us can imagine.

    I am sure LSU would love to have him another season if the Pro's don't want him....

    Many people can overcome “deficiencies” because of drive and other skills. Having huge hands does not mean you can throw a football any better. It just means you have big hands. The mental aspect in football is overlooked by a lot of bad scouts.

    I forgot it was the underwear olympics this week. While it probably does matter, it always gets blown out of proportion this week.

    Like John Elway, who thinks that you have to be taller than 6'4" to play QB

    Guy is really good, no matter his hand size. I guess he didn't let his small hands doom him to failure, despite the "experts" saying you are born in small hand class of people therefore you will never succeed.

    I would rather base my decision on his ability to throw a ball then on a measurement.

    They are trying to associate it with fumbles not so much completions.

    Me too. 9 3\4”. Technically it’s not hand size but more grip size.

    Is hand size a direct correlation to having the ball stripped from you in the pocket? Otherwise he can show them how he throws.
