That's why I rarely hype about college players, because I don't watch enough of them, and I'm not smart enough to evaluate them. I just hope our front office does. The exception, of course, are UB players. I can talk all day about those guys. There are the potential NFL prospects right now, but not on this draft: QB Tyree Jackson, WR Anthony Johnson and LB Khalil Hodge. Remember those names in the 2019 and 2020 drafts.

Also, the college ball isn't that much smaller than a pro ball, so why would gripping the ball become a problem? it must be a factor because nobody with hands less than 9" had any success. perhaps it doesn't increase your liklihood of success once your hands are larger than a certain size but it certainly shows they must be at least a certain size to be successful and in my own experiences i saw that myself. when it was cold or rainy i couldn't grip the football and i measured and my hands are 8.5" so that's probably why Edited January 23, 2018 by kdiggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overrated attribute Its definitely important hand size especially for smaller QBs like Russ or Brees and now Mayfield . Ej had other poor attributes that killed his gm like slow eyes.

Also, the college ball isn't that much smaller than a pro ball, so why would gripping the ball become a problem? cold weather teams the ball becomes hard and slippery hot weather conditons the ball expands some. its not the most improtant measurable by a longshot, but teams measure it for a reason.... if you have 2 QB's that are eqal in every other measurable and stats but one has a hand 0.5 inches larger you may use that in a decision.. but overall I agree its the last measurable we really need to be having a hardcore debate about.... More importantly is completion % type of college Offense Ability to scan the field Performance against high competion and bowl games Ability to sense pocket pressure Height/size probably a few more to add in there but hand size doesn't come into the equation till all the otehr more improtant attributes have been dissected Edited January 23, 2018 by ddaryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness I don’t think we’re all looking for elite QB , I think most of us would be happy with someone that we could all agree is a starter , and for once not have to debate if he’s a backup or , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater, Mahomes, and Webb all have bigger hands than Rudolph. I went back and edited my list...basically, over the past decade, you find 1 semi-successful QB every 2 years with hands the size of Rudolph's. 6 out of 40 with his hand size could be considered borderline successful.
