Kenny Pickett Says He Slept With A Splint On His Hands To Make Them Bigger

This time a year ago, Kenny Pickett was part of the pre-draft process. And no position gets scrutinized more than quarterbacks. In an uncertain 2022 class that had wildly different rankings depending on who you talked to, it wasn’t clear if Pickett would be the first quarterback taken or the fourth. Throughout draft season, the biggest knock on Pickett has his hand size. Pickett’s first pre-draft stop was the Senior Bowl where he was asked about his reportedly small hands which only became a bigger story once Pickett declined to have them measured.

Ultimately, he weighed in at the NFL Combine with 8 1/2 inch hands.
