Alka Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It has been brought up by someone that Darnold has smallish hands, and that causes him to be prone to fumble. I know that his hand size is 9 and 3/8 inches, which are bigger than Mayfield at 9 and 1/4 inches, but smaller than Rosen at 9 3/4 inches and Allen who tops off at 10 and 1/8 inches I believe. I know that when I was young, I could throw the football around 60 yards or so, but my hands I measured today and are 8 inches only, which I guess are somewhat average for most normal people (I am 6'2" by the way). Does anyone know why the ideal hand size is for an NFL QB, and how important is it? I would think it would be most important in cold weather, since holding on to the football is a priority.

Larz Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Dilfer knows Darnold really well. He talked about it being technique and just sloppy. Said he has habits like Marino where he holds it 1 hand and tries to move it around defenders and needs to learn better habits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
