It might've been a big deal to others, but to the team that intended on drafting him, they could care less. Maybe other teams were playing it up in an attempt to get the Bengals not to draft him, but there was nothing that was gonna keep Cincinnati from selecting him outside of him committing a major felony before the draft.

Man, I don’t think you’re getting me. One, there’s just no way you knew what the concerns in the Bengals organization was. I’m sure everything was talked about. You have to believe that the organization is a little more thorough than the word on the Cincinnati streets. But really you’re missing the point. Scouts, former players, a trend of shying away from smaller hand size, the hand size was damn near the only downside to his game. Kenny Pickett’s hand size is WAY WAY smaller than his without Burrows’ intangibles, winning pedigree, and pristine record as a prospect. I mean, he wears two gloves for a reason. That’s the point. Ultimately I’m saying I like Kenny Pickett and he’s going to land in a good spot because teams will pass on him high for something that’s probably not a big deal at all.

Sorry, but I'm not gonna blindly go by the word of some guy on a football forum. I'm gonna wait for the official measurements to come out. Even then, I don't see how any of these other QB's are gonna be able to pass Pickett. It's such a poor draft class. Small hands or not, he's just a better QB than the rest of the class.
