These tweets from NFL.com expert Gil Brandt are from back in February, but they made the rounds on Twitter last night as the symbol of a draft process that has become a caricature of itself.

Bridgewater 9 1/4 hands. Smaller than I thought, many thought. He played w 2 gloves at Louisville. #NFLCombine — Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) February 21, 2014

Jimmy Garopollo's hands: 9 1/4. Over the threshold. He'll be fine. #NFLCombine — Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) February 21, 2014

To review: 9 1/4 sized hands are both small and a sign of concern… and just fine at the same time. Apparently, Teddy Bridgewater’s draft stock never recovered from having smaller than expected hands. Maybe that explains the precipitous fall down draft boards.

Could you imagine any other profession obsessing over the size of someone’s hands? The draft has officially made everyone crazy.
