Former Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa and Oregon’s Justin Herbert, the second- and third-best QBs in the class, have hands measuring 10 inches. A few notable hand sizes for NFL QB greats include Brett Favre (10.38″), Peyton Manning (10.13″), and Tom Brady (9.38″).<\/strong><\/p>\nChase Young, the Ohio State defensive end standout, is considered the best player in the 2020 NFL Draft with an overall rating of 96. He’s at a distant +1200 to be selected first. Tagovailoa is next at +2500. Herbert is at +4000.<\/p>\n
Franchise QB Needed<\/b><\/h2>\n The larger the hand size, scouts say, the less likely the quarterback is to fumble the ball when hit. The Bengals are looking to move on from Andy Dalton, and are expected to go with Burrow.<\/p>\n
But Cincinnati was prone to turnovers last season. The team threw 16 interceptions and gave away 14 fumbles, tied for fifth-worst in the NFL. During his remarkable senior year, Burrow threw just six interceptions against 60 touchdown passes. He fumbled the ball four times, but the opposing team recovered just one.<\/p>\n
If the Bengals want to stick with a QB, it will almost certainly be one of these three:<\/p>\n
