ProcessAccepted Posted March 30, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted March 30, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. this and I think he can find QB's and deliver. in stride.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name any QBs who failed because of height? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much about failure, but being limited i.e. Noodle arm QBs being limited by their lack of arm strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
