Combine it with arm length and variability in things like forehead size and you start to see why a 5'9 WR like Gallon can outperform the majority of 6'2 WRs.Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-20837183600107400132014-02-26T18:49:11.515-05:002014-02-26T18:49:11.515-05:00I knew someone would make that type of comment.
I...I knew someone would make that type of comment.<br /><br />I think there's probably value for large hands on the defensive line -- in addition to fending off OL blocks, I would imagine there's some benefit in reaching up and knocking down passes.DonAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-23250656494959533432014-02-26T13:28:08.074-05:002014-02-26T13:28:08.074-05:00You're AWFULLY interested in men's hand si...You're AWFULLY interested in men's hand sizes Thunder (Magnus).

RichRod had a lot of recruiting misses (like the infamous '09 linebacker haul), but he did seem to understand offensive linemen well. Too bad he didn't recruit some more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-59963955970517576692014-02-26T09:53:38.191-05:002014-02-26T09:53:38.191-05:00The tape will tell the tale.
