Joe Biden is a top 15 president
A darling test of the combine, every year players are tested down to the gnats rear end about the size of their mitts. Every year we look and say "wow, that guy has tiny hands" and wonder about his career as a car salesman before completely forgetting about hand size after the draft. Some keep the moniker, such as Alex "Tiny Hands" Smith who, as you can see below, does not in fact have the smallest hands. Does hand size correlate to superbowl wins? Regular season wins? Does the fact that Michael "Vick" Vick's hands were tiny matter in the grand scheme of things? How small is too small?



Other Notables:

Colin Kaepernick (9 ⅛)
Ryan Tannehill (9")
Tony Romo (8 ⅞)
Michael Vick (8 ¼)

Interesting to think that Bridgewater got poo poo on for his hands being too small when Rivers had been killing it for over a decade with the same hand size.

Edit: Also in case you weren't getting to it, Red Boxes are QBs that have won Superbowls as the starting QB, red dots are QBs that have won the MVP.

Brett Favre Hand Size: 10.38"

I like that chart because it makes it seem like the guys at the top have hands that stretch a yard or two from one side to the other while the guys at the bottom have minuscule tiny baby hands that you can barely see

thanks. I wouldn't have expected that level of bigness from his occasional fumble problems but hopefully that's behind him

You know what they say about a man's hand size to height ratio?













Serious post: it's a useful metric, but doesn't tell the whole story.

Geez, how could Vick throw the ball so consistently with that hand size?

My hands are like 1/2 inch bigger than his and the ball is constantly squirting out of my grip when I'm out in the yard throwing to the kids, and that's without an army of three hundred pound men trying to swat it away from me.
