Episode notes
Verify Measurables Before Overreacting
- Treat weigh-in measurements skeptically and corroborate positives at the Combine or pro day.
- Use measurements as one input, but favor tape and context when making projections.
Hands And Arms Shape QB Projection
- Hand span and arm length materially affect quarterback evaluation and ball handling projections.
- McShay highlights Garrett Nussmeier's sub-9-inch hand span as a notable red flag despite other traits.
Physical Upside Can Trump Imperfect Tape
- Athletic traits can win teams' attention even when tape is imperfect.
- Joe Milton's size, arm, and athleticism make him a day-three developmental intrigue, per McShay.
