Jared Goff: 'I've never had a problem' with size of hands
How important is it?
Goff, the former Cal quarterback rated as one of this year's top draft prospects, sneered, scoffed and grimaced at the latest predraft chatter that small hands might hurt his stock. Goff measured in at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds with 9-inch hands, a size that drew gasps from draftniks.Typically a good hand size for a quarterback is 9½ inches minimum, with 10 inches or more ideal.
ESPN's Todd McShay wrote that hand size equates to ball security and that since 2008, less than 10 percent of quarterbacks measured at the combine had hands 9 inches or smaller.
Hand measurements are taken from thumb to pinky, with the hand placed on a flat surface.
One NFL coach who promised his team would come out of the draft with a quarterback said hand size does matter.
