You know, that was never a thing until draft where Bridgewater, Johnny Jackwagon, and the kid that went to the drags got drafted in. 

Aaron Rodgers had handsize smaller than all 3 at the time, and they still spent that entire off-season talking about how great Rodgers was.

Handsize for a QB is the new "can throw 90 yards on his knees." No one who actually spends time evaluating QBs puts much stock into it.

This. 

There is barely a correlation between hand size and fumbling. And Burrow is one of the most accurate passers in college football history. While its a data point it doesn't matter so much.

There is more correlation with cold weather performance. Fans make a bigger deal about hand size that the NFL does.

Concerns over a QBs hand size isn’t anything new at all. At least as long as I’ve watched, played and coached football. Since the 1970s. 
 

   That’s just when YOU first heard about it. Not when scouts started caring.

Shenault is significantly shorter than I thought. I expected him to measure a legit 6'2". He's built like power RB. Basically the same height and weight as Leveon Bell. Gonna be interesting to see how that translates to the NFL at WR. He's a few meals away from being able to play LB.

He’s a little taller and a little bigger than Deebo. Both of them are a bit more built than our Moore. Be interesting to see how he runs, but Samuel was compared to Moore and seems like he’ll be compared to Deebo.

Man if we didnt have Thomas and werent going to run mainly 3 WR 1 TE sets

Id look hard at this guy in the early 3rd or move back into the 2nd for Kmet

 

Kmet is moving up the board. He could be the first TE off the board and a potential 1st rounder.

He needs a good combine cuz he isn't very athletic and not a great blocker either.  The TE group is pretty weak IMO.

^^^^This.  Impressive mesurables, but put on the tape and he's meh.  It is a weak class and I wouldn't venture to grab a TE before round 4, if any.  This is the one spot where I'm okay going out in FA and getting a mid-tier guy.

That’s how a team ends up taking a David Njoku in the 1st round and a George Kittle falls into the 5th round.

Yeah, there could end up being some good NFL TEs out of the bunch, but there don't seem to be any prospects that would have scouts banging the table over them.

Well, I mean Little barely had over 700 receiving yards in four college seasons. I don't think anyone could've predicted what he's become in the NFL.

Honestly, had he not had a strong combine performance he may have gone undrafted. He's kind of a bad example to use because for your case because showing good athleticism in workouts is probably what got him drafted as a flier.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
