So there are lots of reports regarding both Brees and Russell Wilson's hand size. Apparently, they both have abnormally large hands. I'm guessing that it makes throwing the ball that much easier, but I'm not sure what else it would be good for. I think that Manziel has large hands too, for a smaller QB.

Does anyone know if Lindsey Scott has abnormally large hands? I'm sure it would help with play action too. He could just tuck the ball into his palm and nobody would know he has it! /s

I'd have to imagine anyone who's only 5-11 would have to have unusually large hands to play qb at the highest levels of college and pros.

Can we please not compare him to a top 5 QB of all time and the pro-bowl MVP. Yall hype these kids up to Monumental expectations then torch them when don't live up to it.

ETA: Kind of a bitch move editing the title. The original thread title was Scott vs Brees/Russell Wilson.

Lindsey Scott was interviewed this morning on 104.5 in Baton Rouge and one of the hosts mentioned he has 9.5" hands.

About the 6 minute mark

i think brees has trouble throwing a ball in wet weather, i wouldn't think he had large hands.

the avg nfl hand size is 9.5 from thumb to pinkie. mine are 9.5 and i don't have any trouble throwing an nfl ball (other than being inaccurate as hell and not worth a shite as a qb.)

one would have to have tiny hands for a college ball to present an issue. tendon strength, arm length, torque and motion (from the feet to the finger tip) also have a lot to do with throwing. can usually get more rotations the larger the grip.

Detelier and Hebert were talking about this on wwl. Supposedly, he actually does have really big Hands. I think they said 11 inches, but whatever measurement it was is reportedly abnormal for someone below 6 ft tall.

Oddly enough, this was discussed late yesterday on either Moscona or WWL. Makes you wonder if this was an original thought or being a copy cat. Anyway, they said 10" hands.
