And? That's still a bad thing? It was only a knock when people thought he had miniature hands. Now we know they're average. So that is all that matters, in a good way.
for all the knocks on bridgewaters hands size, bortles is right there with him.. not much of a difference really between the 2 guys hands sizes..

and Bortles is 6'5 ... Im more suprised at the 214 Lbs on Bridgewater i can assure you that's the beggest suprise.. Wasnt the media and everyone saying he was 195-205LBS..
He supposedly was during the season last year. Comments from many at the combine saying that he looks bulked up since the season's end
i would say that a + for him.. If he was already rated # 1 QB, even with his small frame.. He should only rise his stock, but the media will always have something..
Lance Zierlein said he was expecting 6-1 & 200 lbs. Folks saying they aren't surprised by this have an agenda.
You'll get jumped on in this thread if you say anything negative about Teddy...Lol. But 9 1/4 is on the small end of average as in barley big enough. 9 3/8 would be considered ok. Russell Wilson hand size is 10 1/4 in comparison. But, I don't think Teddy's hand size would be in issue here in Texas but it could be in issue in a cold weather city like Cleveland.
Why are people so worried about his hand size? Was he constantly fumbling the ball? I have never seen him not be able to handle the ball because of his hand size. Is the NFL ball bigger than the college ball? If it has never been an issue in college why is it all of a sudden an issue now? It just feels like some people have an agenda.
Just what a scout replied to me about Teddy's hand size: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Zepp1978">@Zepp1978</a> anything 9.25 or better is fine.

No, anyone who took the time to really look at Bridgewater shouldn't have been suprised at all by his weigh in. I posted this over a week ago...
