K D Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 You know what they say about short QB's with small hands...
ProcessAccepted Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I'm more concerned about his below average hand size Average hand size is 9.6 inches https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/09/.../big-hands-small-colleges-and-the-nfl-draft.html
Buffalo716 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 He has tons of talent. But NFL history isn't on his side... doesn't mean he cant overcome his obstacles because I wouldn't bet against him 1

Maybe he'll fumble more, but that will not be the reason he fails. QB failure comes down to accuracy, field vision/decision making, injuries or character. 2 1

Some say its his wrs talents but i haven't seen anyone like this since Luck he used to find guys wide open. This is something that shouldn't be overlooked. Expand this and I think he can find QB's and deliver. in stride..

Expand most dont even get a shot, you have to be exceptional just get a D1 offer. Mayfield himself had to walk on at 2 schools cause colleges werent going to give him a chance. I just coached a great high school QB. One of the best I have seen, not 1 d1 offer because he was 5'11. Literally had college coaches tell me they just cant recruit him cause of his size. 1

SouthNYfan Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I think I've heard somebody talk about this before, I'm not sure though. 1

row_33 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 a top O-line can make up for shortness in a good QB
