2013 NFL Combine: Field Workout Recap - Quarterbacks

As a point of reference, two years ago the average for the tight ends was 4.78 seconds in the 40-yard dash.

The top quarterback for the 2013 NFL Draft is West Virginia's Geno Smith, and he backed that up with a good showing at the Combine. Smith led all the quarterbacks with a 4.59 time in the 40-yard dash. The 6-foot-2, 218-pounder threw the ball extremely well in the field work. He had some great throws on deep balls downfield. Smith showed excellent accuracy and a strong arm to drive the ball into the deep part of the field. Overall, it was a good Combine performance to keep Smith as the top-ranked quarterback.

Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray has been a forgotten prospect by pundits when discussing the much-maligned 2013 quarterback class. The 6-foot-6, 232-pounder had an up-and-down career for the Volunteers. At the Combine, Bray had some beautiful throws down the deep part of the field; the ball came out well with a quick, natural release. He also threw some bullets on the deep out. Some of Bray's throws were off the mark, which confirmed both his inconsistency and his great physical skill set.

N.C. State quarterback Mike Glennon had a day similar to Bray. Glennon (6-7, 225) showed off his big arm with some fabulous throws down the field. However, he would follow a great throw with one well off the mark. Glennon struggled with his accuracy in college, but that is going to be a critical part of his game for him to improve significantly in order to be a quality starting quarterback in the NFL. He didn't help or hurt himself at the Combine.

Another quarterback with big size and a strong arm is Florida State's E.J. Manuel. Unlike Glennon, Manuel has some mobility and can make plays with his feet. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.65 seconds - the second-fastest time for the quarterbacks. Manuel (6-5, 237) made some good throws in the field work with plenty of arm strength to push the ball down the field. His stock is rising, and this quality Combine performance will help that climb.

Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones didn't impress at the Combine, but didn't look especially bad either. Jones (6-4, 225) is a pocket passer who isn't suited to the Combine. He didn't do enough in Indianapolis to help his draft stock. Jones looks like a mid- to late-rounder.

Two other quarterbacks are worth mentioning. Syracuse's Ryan Nassib (6-2, 227) ran the 40 in 5.06 seconds, while Arkansas' Tyler Wilson (6-2, 215) was clocked at 4.95 seconds. Nassib had some good throws during the field work, but Wilson didn't look special. Neither quarterback had an impressive Combine performance to help himself on the field, but each one has the ability to do well in the interview room.

Despite the requests of NFL scouts, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein declined to workout as a tight end. That was a mistake. Klein's passing is not NFL-caliber, and he may not get drafted as a quarterback. The 6-foot-5, 226-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.78 seconds. That is roughly around average for a tight end, but Klein made a mistake in not fulfilling the requests of the coaches and scouts.

small hands > chance fumbling
big hands < chance fumbling
hand size does matter to a degree

Are you effing crazy? How is Sanchez not Hollywood?...I would bet my paycheck the guy has been in more magazines than he has NFL wins. You are a dipsh it.

Tyler Wilson will show off on the "board" and is a leader on the field. His biggest problem is his mechanics got sloppy last season without the Dark Lord Petrino guiding him. Supposedly Weinke has found a few flaws and has helped him gain more accuracy on longer throws. You'd fumble too not getting any better blocking than he did at Arkansas.

Walt, you knock past USC QBs for being too "Hollywood", now I'm not a fan of Barkley as a prospect, and Sanchez and Leinhart both suck imo. But what have these two QBs ever done at the NFL level that is "Hollywood" like? Nothing, and you know it. Please try and stick to the facts instead of throwing around broad generalizations.

Every QB this year especially Wilson, Nassib was overrated. After the combine, Barkley 7 makes sense, Geno 1 makes sense, and I wouldn't be surprised if E.J Manuel goes 18.

How does Geno Smith suck? 02-24-2013 04:30 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.119 (total posts: 1)

Not sure how you figure he disappointed at the combine... he was the fastest QB there (and roughly the same speed as Russel Wilson and Kaepernick) and his measurements were solid.

Could Marqeuis Gray be a starting NFL quarterback? I have never seen him play or even heard of him, but based on his 6'3 height, good split and 40 yard dash time, and above average hand size, could their be some potential with him? He also comes from a strong football conference which has produced lots of NFL quarterbacks (Big Ten)

How do you measure your hand span?

How is Geno Smith not stock down? He proved yet again that he is just another overhyped Walter QB by measuring in lower in every category then projected.

Yet you took the time to post on the issue.

This is for the most part a football draft site...you know where conversation about football happens. Does the size matter, no, but it's interesting and it's better than watching hockey.

I always lol at quarterback hand measurements taken so seriously. If a guy has freakishly tiny hands I could understand, but it's not like Tyler Wilson had an unusual amount of fumbles compared to other quarterbacks with these "10 inch hands" that seem to get some scouts rock hard *cough Walter*. Same people who care about this are the same kind've of pervs who have foot fetishes. I personally have a 9.5" hand span and I can comfortably grip a football on a rainy day. I could do the same when I was teen with what were probably much smaller hands.

@Jordan Davis. Oh if you think his hands are big you should see his...Ankles!
