That’s smaller than small. Will almost certainly affect his draft status.

I believe Taysom Hill also has 8.5” hands. He loses it more than I’d like to se when he gets his arms hit. Some are saying Pickett is double jointed so it doesn’t matter. I don’t know anything about that, but 8.5” is small for an nfl QB.

It just comes down to you willing to live with the fumbles and playing in poorly in bad weather. Granted, all QBs play terrible in bad weather.

You just have to Pickett as a sunk cost exercise and just invest a lot and often to produce a top ten pass blocking offensive line.

Is the worst situation? No. I think Mac Jones situation is a worse one. He's too talented dependent for sustainable success.

I have 8 1/2 inch hands and I can throw an NFL football just fine.
Maybe all the outdoor teams ding him for it and he falls to a nice, warm, cozy dome team. Still hoping for wr and a Winston signing but he could definitely be an option if our front office likes him.

You know what they say about men with small hands.......

Hill loses it on throws as well. You can see it come out with no velocity and rainbow on deep throws. His intermediate throws are decent though.

Just kidding. There no saying about that.

Little hands for a QB could mean locker room scrutiny from other players than have bigger hands.

Agreed...Mac Jones isn't going to be this great QB...BB isn't going to be around to literally hold his hand for long and he has a waaay tougher QB gauntlet to outgun in order to get to the promised land. He'll end up being maybe the 8th best QB in the AFC, if he's lucky.

Yep. They have small gloves.

I would like to think guys don't go around the locker room and shower looking at each others hands.

 

[Kegger]

Have they done any workouts yet? Anyone watching?

I'm not positive, but I believe it starts at 3:00

It could be Burks if he runs in the 4.3s.

I didn't look at Velus Jones Jr. at all until we hired his former WR coach. I'm interest in what he runs.

London I think could jump into the top 10 if he runs close to a 4.40. Then rest of the top tier guys could jump also if they run less than 4.3

Liking mcbride... Colorado st. TE

Let's see how the Bengals Effect shake up the draft. Feel like a lot of team are going to covet it.
