Every year the NFL melts down over the discussion of young men and their hands.
Current thinking by football “experts” is that anything less than nine inches is all but a debilitating physical failure and basically means you’ll never make it as a pro quarterback.
Don’t have a tape measure to hand but it’s an octave and two, from what I recall. (Think I can do an octave and three but I have to come in at a weird edge angle and I couldn’t hope to do it without being very careful.)
