    He already has skipped, at the Senior Bowl. I think he’s damned if he does damned if he doesn’t.

    Burrow has one of the smallest hands in the nfl and all he did was to go to the super bowl in his second year. :cool:

    If reports are true, Picketts hands are almost an inch shorter than Burrows. He’d have the smallest hands ever.

    He had a poor showing during Senior Bowl week in bad weather and in a couple games during the season.

    I’m not saying I wouldn’t draft him, I like him as a prospect, I’ll just be holding my breath until he proves he can play in poor weather.

    https://www.profootballnetwork.com/will-kenny-picketts-hand-size-impact-his-2022-nfl-draft-stock/

    one advantage though is the double jointed thumb that actually helps him grip the ball. he also wears two pairs of gloves it says. :cool:

    Bench Pressing only measures the desire and perseverance aspects anyway as said drill is a test of endurance and willpower. Raw strength as well but there should be other methods to determine that; squatting would be mine personally. Interior Lineman overall should be required to do this drill at the very least.



    Other positions like QB?!?! Really?!?! :hmm:

    Got his hands measured at the Combine...8 1/2"...The smallest hands EVER recorded at the Combine!

    Concerned, with the bigger ball?

    Steelers won't be able to draft him. Stick with FA QBs. No need to waste a draft pick on QB.

    No . No need 2 . If others opt out of test they don't want....So should other.
    See....this is what happens. That's why I hate it. Everyone should do every test....unless medical reasons.

    Yes. That is freakishly small. I'm 5 10, and have 9,and 7/8s hands. So Yes I'd worry about His hands.

    Can't forget how they compensated for someone else's smallish metacarpus.

    Noticed on twitter that some people don’t seem to know that NFL footballs are bigger, too.

    On the flip side, Kiper was saying all the execs he has spoken to about this were laughing it off as no big deal. If we take him, I hope that turns out to be true.

    I can't see how it wouldn't be a hindrance. Mike Vick had the same size hands, and fumbled 98 times, and He played a majority of His career indoors.

    Any ideas why he is not running the 40? Was there an injury? Or is he just being an Ass?

    I really liked Skyy Moore before the Combine...Was hoping 3rd round, now they're saying 2nd.......And I'd be ok with that too
