Kenny’s Hand Size

[#99HUGHgreen]

I (and Kenny’s fiancé) wish they would just stop with these headline’s about Pickett’s small hands.

NFL draft: QB Kenny Pickett's small hands actually grew at Pitt's crowded pro day

Pickett's hands are inching their way toward the 9 threshold with each passing measurement.

“Isn’t Amy marrying that quarterback with the small hands.” (giggles)

Gotta feel bad for both Pickett and his fiancé.. Leave Kenny’s small hands alone. He’s proven he can hold onto the ball just fine. If Amy doesn’t mind his small… hands… then why should anyone else.

“isn’t Amy marrying the quarterback who’s going to be a first round pick and millionaire.” (Giggles)

I agree it’s annoying, but comes with the territory. Had he went to the draft last year, I’d venture to guess his hand size wouldn’t be discussed too much since he would’ve been what, a fringe 5th round pick at best?

I get that it’s the most important position arguably in all of sports, but the way it is overanalyzed can really be exhausting.

As long as he can show he is capable of throwing the NFL football well (which has now done) and he isn’t losing the ball when he runs it backs up to pass(again not an issue), then he should be fine. Yes it is exhausting and something the media just needs to move on from talking about

This is yet another example of how lazy media is… find a trope … no matter how stupid… beat it to death… rinse repeat

there’s no way that this topic should be dominating discussion about Kenny Pickett at all… yet here we are.

Who grips a football with their hand stretched the way it's measured? They should measure from the palm to the tip of middle finger, because that's the park that secures most of the ball.

Wouldn't grip force matter a bit more?

It was funny. I could see him jokingly show his hand to one the teams there during pro day. They borh laughed about it. But you could see his thumb was awkwardly jointed which would throw off that simple measurement. His hands didn't look small at all.
