Fans had all the jokes about Kenny Pickett’s hand size.

Not sure why everyone is freaking about Kenny Pickett's hand size. Lionel Messi's hands aren't even 8.5 and he's one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen.

At the end of the day, Kenny Pickett’s hand size isn’t going to make or break him as an NFL QB. The question will be and has always been: can the kid play?

Pickett was a four-year starter at Pitt, putting up monstrous numbers in his final season. In 2021 he threw for 4,319 yards to go along with 42 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Some NFL team will take a chance on Kenny Pickett in the draft. And whether he ends up panning out or not, we’ll likely never going to be lamenting the guy’s hand size ever again.
