NFL Fans are losing their minds after details emerged on the hand size of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett.
You may recall that heading into the 2022 NFL Draft, the knock against Kenny Pickett was his small hand size. At his pro day, Pickett’s hand size was measured at 8 and 5/8, as reported at the time by then-NFL Network reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson seemingly took a shot at Pickett’s small hands by stating, “God gives you a gift to throw a ball, and he gave me big hands to throw it”. per Cassidy Wood of KDKA in Pittsburgh:
