It didn’t take very long but we’ve reached the crazy section of the football offseason as the 2020 NFL Combine begun on Monday in Indianapolis.

Before any drills can be run or cones circled, the prospects are subject to poking and prodding by NFL scouts and general managers who have made the journey to Indianapolis to study the players that will soon be up for selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The first data point collected from every combine is the measurements of the prospects. While many will argue the validity and the information gained from measurements, NFL teams have to know exactly what they are getting in a prospect.

This year, the biggest measurement “news” out of Indianapolis comes from Joe Burrow, the presumed No. 1 overall selection in the draft. Burrow’s hands measure nine inches, which some are labeling as an issue.

Interestingly, Burrow’s hand size was not an issue when he led LSU to a 15-0 record and set multiple NCAA passing records last season for the Tigers.

Check out some of the reactions to the news on Twitter:

Do you put any stock into the hand size of a quarterback?
