Ranking the QB class by hand size

Not that it matters a ton -- Mahomes is only 9.25" -- but I saw how small some of the prospects' hands are it gave me pause, thinking of the bad weather in Pittsburgh late in the season.

Ben has big, strong mitts that allow him to pump fake without touching the ball with his left hand. Mason is a smallish 9.125. Goff/Burrow even smaller at 9".

So if you're in the "size matters" crowd, here they are from Huge to Needs Help Holding Whopper:


Kyle Trask: 10.125
T Lawrence: 10
Jamie Newman: 10
Ian Book: 9.875
Mac Jones: 9.75
Feleipe Franks: 9.75
Sam Ehlinger: 9.625
Zach Wilson: 9.5
Davis Mills: 9.5
Kellen Mond: 9.375
Justin Fields: 9.125
Trey Lance: 9.125

 

2 be honest , I don't think I've ever seen another Qb able 2 do that ,like Ben did. He use 2 just freak even the cameras out, with his complete extended fake.

 

Yup, that's what put the DB on skates on the long Holmes catch and run in the Super Bowl winning drive.

 

It doesn't hurt, but definitely doesn't make a great QB. I remember Kyle Boller had huge hands, that is why he was able to throw 60 yards while sitting down ... yet that dude would fumble snaps all the time.

 

Oh, definitely. Lots of studs and lots of turds on this list. It's just one data point.

Ben's got smaller hands for his size. Yet I've never seen anyone be able 2 do that complete extended fake like he could.

 

Id rather rank them by their brain size, and athleticism and arm strength . Does anybody remember Joe Montana's hand size?

 

you remember his wonderlich score?
