Long live Joe Burrow's NFL career: 2020-2020.

The LSU product joked that he was considering retirement following the measurement of his "tiny hands" at Thursday's NFL Scouting Combine:

Joey Burrow @Joe_Burrow10

Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands. Please keep me in your thoughts.

Burrow's hands were measured at 9", which is a notably small number for a 6'3" quarterback. One could argue it may impact his ability to grip the ball in the rain at the NFL level, but small hands didn't stop Kyler Murray from going No.
