Less than three weeks after concern about the size of Kenny Pickett’s throwing hand broke out at the NFL combine, something changed: his hand grew an eighth of an inch.
Back on March 3, Pickett’s right hand clocked in at eight and a half inches, sparking discussion about whether the size of his hands would hurt his draft stock. When evaluated again on Monday at his Pro Day, the 23-year-old posted a measurement of eight and five-eighths inches, according to NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala.
Although Pickett’s hand growth might sound shady, an increase isn’t unheard of.
