Before we get to deep down the hand size rabbit hole (again) a few pro hand sizes for perspective.

Tony Romo: 8.86
Michael Vick: 8 1/2
Aaron Rodgers: 9 3/8
Brett Farvre: 10. 3/8
Drew Brees: 10 1/4
Russell Wilson: 10 1/4
Ryan Tannehill: 9
Derek Carr: 9 1/8
Alex Smith 9 3/8
Carson Wentz: 10
Jared Goff 9
Dak Prescott: 10 3/8

What scouts and draftniks describe as small one year is fine the next. Yes it has practical application in gripping the ball but is hardly a make or break measurement.

From a non-intangible standpoint his passes are really slow. Super slow. Like he has the arm strength to get it downfield but if youre asking him to hit a 10 yard route it's going to get there tenths of a second sooner than a bunch of current guys. He's also a shotgun only guy that made use of the heavy option runs that Oklahoma likes to use. He can read the field of course but he has a bad knack for opening his body towards a throw which leads to the previously mentioned passing velocity problems.

He's still really good though.

Planted OU flag in middle of Ohio State field after game, arrested for drunk and disorderly and grabbed his dick an opposing team that was cheap shotting him all game.

Using such a thorough evaluation process some scouts have decided that he is the 2nd coming of Manziel.

Considering the progression of college and NFL, everybody is gonna go shotgun only sooner or later

I too would like to know his bubble butt measurement as I’m sure it ties to some metric about speed and power in a mobile QB.

Is his rear end elite enough to get a super bowl ring?

Nah you see it now in the NFL when shotgun teams slowly go back to pro sets when their run game loving sucks. The shotgun sets up the run if the passing is successful. Linebackers play back on their heels or in zones to cover for CBs getting shredded on middle and flat routes and all of a sudden there's just a four man rush with a spying LB for your runner to blast by. If your CBs are locking down the three receiver sets or jamming longer routes then the LBs are playing in the box and have time to get downhill against a longer developing run play. It's why Baltimore and LA were so successful against the pass this year.

Never underestimate the NFL's ability to eventually adapt and shut down a seemingly unstoppable type of offense.

Spread your hand out as far as possible, the measurement is tip of the thumb to tip of the pinky.

I can buy Allen would have more velocity on throws, I'm not sure I buy that he has that margin of velocity over Mahomes.
