    1/8 of an inch seems pretty insignificant, so if he and Burrow are essentially equal, he should be fine, I would think.

    Jake has shown himself to be a poor passer in bad weather.....that's for d@mn sure.

    GOAT Tom Brady: A below average 9.38 inches hand size. This stat probably doesn't hold up to statistical analysis, but it probably keeps a few extra scouts employed. Just sayin'.

    Yeah, that's a problem. His hand size isn't any bigger than mine and I an average 5'11" white guy... Good luck Jake!

    Good Luck Jake!

    Hand size won't be what gets Fromm drafted late. It's all about arm strength for him. If he comes in and has the same zip that Burrow shows (he doesn't need elite Eason, Herbert type arm strength) he'll be drafted in the second day. If it's not that good then he'll end up regretting his decision pretty quickly.

    Well thank God Fromm won't get drafted by the Browns. Now if Chubb can escape one day soon...

    If Jake could only grow his hands 3/8 bigger he could maybe be a Super Bowl winner like Mahomes. Shucks!

    My sentiments exactly. Joe Burrow-the best things since sliced bread, 1/8 inch smaller Jake Fromm...Seriously? Are we talking measurements for the space shuttle or throwing a football?

    Actually his are a 1/8 inch larger than Fromm's. Burrow played in a dome and always seemed to have good weather. I think he only played in 1 bad weather game. Most of the throws were under 10 yards and the receivers just ran for yardage, much like Tua was able to benefit from it. I think Burrows hand size is an issue also, as well as Fromms . I think the scouts should soak all the footballs and make them throw 15-25 yard outs and see what happens. Too much bad weather in the nfl. Who wants to watch their team go 11-0 just to watch them go 0-5 because of bad weather and that is when you find out the qb can't throw in bad weather. And then watch them get beat in the first round. The wet balls would also show what rb's and receivers can catch also. Just saying

    Go DAWGS

    Too bad they can't measure Jake's brain and how fast he processes info. Can't run, not elusive,small hands, short by NFL ideal height, average at best arm strength. Goodness gracious how did he win what 37 games?

    So Jake has small hands, eh? Yep. Let the jokes begin. :/
