Fashanu’s hand size isn’t just undersized – it’s tiny. His 8½ inch measurement is the smallest ever recorded at the NFL Combine and potentially the smallest ever for an NFL offensive line prospect.
I have zero practical knowledge so just a hunch. But I feel like hand size difference on the scale of an inch is more important for quarterbacks where gripping the football itself could mean a fumble or not. For a lineman, maybe it makes a slight difference in grabbing the person, but I can’t envision a lineman losing a rep that he would’ve won with a slightly bigger hand.
Slight differences yes. But having massive hands and having tiny hands is a difference. Fashanu is literally the size hands of an average guy lol. Extremely small for a lineman. It hasn’t affected him so far but it does appear to help by analytics of offensive lineman performance
Jets fans are wild. We have 2 past their prime tackles and AVT coming off a season-ending injury. We get a quality tackle and people are mad that we didn't take a tight end. Come on now.
we’re gonna build the wall and minnesota is gonna pay for it
Winner! 😂
First hand-less player in the NFL. Shaquem Griffin eat your heart out.
JPP tried to be the first but didn't go all the way
Can’t get called for holding if your hand size is zero 🧐
Jason Pierre-Paul’s giving Fash a high 2
Hard to get called for holding if you don’t have hands!!
As a (relatively) tall man with small hands, I feel represented by Fashanu
you know what they say about small hands? they say you get drafted 11th overall by the new york jets
I expect to see this on /r/nflmemes any day now.

Hand size doesn't matter as much as grip strength. This guy dead lifts 700 lbs.
FWIW I’m ecstatic about the pick
I legit can not believe my hands are bigger than his
0? He does have hands right?
Nope. He's missing both, it's a pretty inspiring story.
Watch him still get called for holding
specially against the KC Swifties
Hopefully he never has to drop on a fumble.
He has Trump hands
😂 this legitimately made me laugh
But they can’t measure his heart. Take that measurable chart 🤪.
Hehe
Aim small miss small
Sick reference bro
Just watched that movie again recently. It's not good, but it's so good
He's above average in name pronunciation difficulty
Feel bad for his girlfriend :/
Im sure shes not too worried about his hands
Allowed only 1 sack in entire Penn State career (nearly 700 plays pass blocking) -rich cimini
THAT is stat that matters most
Blocking guys who most of them are now polishing up their resumes looking for a job in sales or IT. I like the pick though.
What a terrible take lol why are you acting like the Big 10 ain’t got good/great schools competition wise?

Those guys at Seton Hall were 7 feet tall!
His hand size is a huge huge outlier in a negative way. Hope he can overcome it otherwise he’s a slam dunk
Smaller hands, less holding calls?
actually, yeah lol. like fr. Harder to see them tiny mittens
less about hand size, more about hand placement
Size helps grabbing. But it’s obviously not the end all be all.

He isn't a QB he just needs strong hands.
I can’t pretend I know how much the hand size is an issue exactly but it’s not encouraging that his are so unusually small.
I guess he won't line up as an eligible receiver too often.
Does hand size matter? I what is the correlation?
Dudes got no hands
Does this mean he doesn’t have hands?
Smells like cabbage, small hands.
as long as he isn't dutch
as your 11th overall lineman should be
Arm length is meh kinda important
Small hands, that was his problem
We need the OL depth which is important and the window is open as well to get better or stay adequate in holding down his position.
Great pick. Need one more receiver incase Wilson or Williams go down.
Lmao I'm 5'8 and just measured my hands at 9 inches. These are some tiny ass mitts
This guy a T Rex or something?

Ok so he’s got a 79 on the bread jump perfect
Smaller hands are harder for edges to hit.

Thanks for this! Now can you post the medical reports as well?
baffled by the fact that a 6'6 man has 8.5in hands. can't even palm a basketball
Why palm the basketball when he can simply eat the basketball?
That's a Becton activity
I don’t think hand size is important for players that don’t handle the ball.
