Thursday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin explains why he's not worried about Kenny Pickett's hand size, which has been the subject of so much "draft chatter." Jonas Knox, Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington compare Pickett to other great NFL QB's who've had small hands, worn gloves and how the process of breaking in footballs has changed through the years.
Brady Quinn: "In the case of Kenny Pickett, it's really not that big of a deal, because of the technology with gloves. Yet people want to make it a big deal because if he's a starting quarterback in the NFL, he will have the smallest hand size and people think that's going to equate to a lack of grip on the football... If you watch the tape, you realize that it was not a concern whatsoever. And I think even for Pittsburgh, a team that plays in the exact same stadium, in the exact same weather, they're looking at it going, 'Yeah, we don't care.'"
