The Cleveland Browns didn’t do Kenny Pickett any favors with the workout photo they posted Wednesday, unintentionally reigniting jokes about his much-discussed hand size.
Pickett is in Cleveland for offseason workouts as the Browns' quarterback competition revs up. The team shared photos of Pickett and 40-year-old Joe Flacco side by side getting in reps, highlighting a noticeable difference in their grip on the football.
"How many of y'all thought this was a meme of the Kenny Pickett hands?" one fan said.
"Omg. Small child has the same size hands as Kenny Pickett," another added.
Pickett's hand size became a notable topic during the 2022 NFL Draft process. At the NFL Scouting Combine, his hands measured 8.5 inches, which was the smallest among quarterbacks in the league at that time. The measurement raised concerns about ball security and grip. Though it hasn’t caused major issues in his NFL career, it continues to draw attention.
