Kenny Pickett Reveals Why He Wears Gloves On His Little Hands

Let’s give Kenny Pickett a hand.

Kenny Pickett’s hands have been talked about to the point of exhaustion and he hasn’t even played a single NFL game yet. The Steelers’ rookie QB finally explains why he wears gloves. The NFL rookie revealed his decision to do so during an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show ’ this week. According to Pickett, it’s all about comfort.

Pickett was the butt of many jokes following news of his small hands size at the combine. Even his girlfriend poked some fun at him.

Pickett got blunt about wearing gloves, and also spoke about the difference between a  college football and the NFL  football.

“After the UNC game that you called, I stuck with the gloves, it just feels more comfortable and I feel great throwing the ball,” Pickett explained.

Picket also went on to explain that he trained with an NFL ball this last offseason just to get a feel for the different-sized football.

There’s a reason most QB’s don’t wear two gloves unless the weather forces them to.

Not sure why it works better for him, but you have to trust him wearing gloves has nothing to do with his tiny little hands.
