Calvin Ridley's smallish hands. Pass

[Fatman LOU]

Playing football at Soldier Field and Lambeau can be wet, windy and nasty at times. Does it concern you that want to draft Calvin Ridley that his hands only measure 9-1/4 inches. On a side note Jordan Howards hands measure 9 inches.

Hand size is literally the dumbest thing people obsess over with football players.

So your not concerned with us using our 8th pick on him?

Ridley actually had a pretty iffy drop percentage.

Come on now im not saying that

Not a fan of him at 8, but does his small hands impede him from catching? No so who the **** cares.

Didn’t say that, but if hand size is your primary problem with picking him then you should re-evaluate your requirements. The best WR in the NFL is about the same size as Ridley, and has smaller hands than Ridley.

Its high on my list i wont kid you about that , he has played most his ball in the south. Just a concern thats all, i think there are better wide receiver options in the second round.

good lord on this.......


he can catch the ball just fine.....

reminds me of the people obsessing over Whitehair's tiny little arms.....

Antonio Brown was measured with 9 inch hands......Steelers should probably cut him before it is too late.......


There are other reasons besides hand size Nazis to not draft him at 8

It's a nothing concern. The guy can catch fine. He was a stand out at one of the best programs in the country, which churns out pro prospects on a yearly basis. Drops are a concentration concern, not a hand size concern.

If there were better options in the draft than Ridley, then they would be drafted higher than him, or at least right around where he goes. The guys that fall into the second round wont be as good of an option.

The difference in hand size in the way it generally translates on the field is guys with Average or smaller hands don't have a problem catching the ball (unless they're not very good football players) however, the guys with large hands have Better ability to make the spectacular catch.

When you see a WR who can routinely make one handed catches look easy, it's because they have Larger, stronger hands.

Insert OBJ, Alshon and so on. That's not Ridley's game because he lacks the physical tools to do so.
