re: Burrow comes in at 9 inches

Handsize correlates with arm strength, accuracy, & ball security

The strength of someone's hands, wrists and forearms would significantly matter for someone lifting extremely heavy weights, not a football. Plenty of big people have weak grip strength. How has JB's hand size affected his accuracy in 2 years as a starter at LSU? How many times did he fumble due to having 9" hands? He played on wet fields and still had success. You are going out on a limb with no direct applicability. In the event he did have lower completion rates in some games that also could be because of receiver short comings, not his accuracy nor hand size. Regardless, his eyes and what is between his ears separate him from a lot of potential QBs that would like to start in the NFL. I bet Winston would trade hand size with Burrow to obtain his live action mental gifts.
