Kenny Pickett's hand size increases by eighth of an inch from NFL combine to Pittsburgh Panthers' pro day

PITTSBURGH -- Maybe it was a friendly tape measure or maybe those stretches actually worked.

Whatever it was, Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett's much-discussed hand size increased by u215b inch from his official NFL scouting combine measurement, checking in at 8u215d inches at Pitt's pro day Monday.

"The stretches work," Pickett said with a laugh. "It's the reason why I've been doing them. If it helped getting an eighth of an inch, I'll take it."

Even with the slightly bigger measurement, Pickett's hand would still be the smallest of any starter or notable NFL backup.
