You're thinking of Donald Trump. But on a serious note, having large hands makes it easier to catch and hold a football. Also as a side note, my hands are the same size as Jim Kelly's, according to the mold in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
I think he doubled down on that assessment too...lol There were gems like that throughout the draft...brutal
I'd be happy with having Tal Farlow-size mitts. But I'd still lack the ability to mak a the guitar sound like he does.....
I remember when I saw Albert King down at The Village Vanguard I was struck by the size of his hands seeing him up close, huge hands. A most memorable show for me, fantastic
Kurt Cobain had some quite big digits as well. He could do one finger power chords since he tuned so low. Sadly, he was embarrassed by them and you always see him hiding them in pictures.
You want to see big hands take a look during one of Troy Aikman's telecasts. First time I noticed I said "holy shit".
i can't wait to see Peake in preseason game action. staying healthy is really the key for him. if he does, he could be a steal that starts on the outside soon. below is a pretty fair scouting assessment: One of the top 15 players coming out of high school and Peake possess an impressive blend of size and speed Brings medical concerns as a boom or bust prospect —Peake played just two games in 2013 before tearing an ACL and being placed as a medical red shirt and he had two knee surgeries to repair the knee Hard worker on and off the field with many reports of outstanding personal character Reliable in traffic and uses his size to his advantage Elite speed that can stretch the field and Peake also shows varying speed and great route running ability to throw off opposing coverage and with an extra gear and controlled stride to burn up field after the catch Tracks the deep ball well, and his speed and long stride coupled with his size makes for a legit deep ball threat Possesses enough shake underneath despite his WR1 size to create separation when coverage gets tight Physical after-the-catch and runs like a running back with the ball in his hands, able to use size to break tackles Plenty capable of making one-handed “wow” catches Raw route-runner with minimal game experience in college (both with the injuries but also buried behind elite talents Martavis Bryant , DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins) Not overly tight in his breaks on routes The strength of his surgically-repaired knee will be an on-going concern (which basically wiped out two seasons at Clemson) Peake had a rather large drop rate in 2015 Draws also former-Clemson Martavis Bryant comparisons and Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney said that Peake was “as talented as any player we’ve had at Clemson” A finalist for Mr. Football in South Carolina as a Senior in 2010 COMBINE UPDATE : A victim of circumstance, Peake never got the true chance to show his talents until 2015. He checked out medical-wise at the Combine and then represented in fine fashion with a 4.45 time in the Forty-Yard-Dash. Peake was solid across the board in drills with one exception, his short-area quickness as captured by the Short-Shuttle drill. At the Clemson Pro Day, Peake then dazzled with a blazing 4.37-second time in the Forty-Yard-Dash (and whole forty times can be all over the map at pro day workouts this only helps to strengthen his case). Peake was also thought to have small hands, but he measured in at 9-1/4, and while not large, the measurement will help his stock as well. Peake also measured in with very long arms at 34” (the second-longest among receivers at this year’s Combine). Many NFL GMs are going to have Peake circled as a sleeper on their draft board.
I had high hopes for him last season when he flashed but he hasn’t looked great in preseason or in his limited role thus far so idk what kind of player he’ll amount to. He may be strictly a special teamer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
High ankle sprain is usually a month or so, so it will be interesting if the Jets use one of their 2 IR return designations on Peake. If they don't, and end his season on a high ankle sprain, that might be telling on how they feel about his future here. I was hoping he'd show more this year. We have a need for a large X type WR who lines up on the LOS and can beat press.
Peake has the speed and that's why he's good on ST's as a gunner but otherwise he doesn't run great routes nor has the best of hands. I think they put him on IR to open up a spot for the time being...Jalin comes back in a week as well so I think they are just biding time on Peake.
