Tua Tagovailoa Hand Size and Measurements Revealed at 2020 NFL Combine
The 2020 NFL Combine in Indianapolis is here, folks. While scouts and fans have their eyes on countless players this week, you'd better believe that the recuperating Tua Tagovailoa will be a major topic of discussion.
Although he won't be ready to throw at the event this week, he'll still be meeting with teams looking to calm their worries about his surgically-repaired hip. And as he enters conversations with GMs, his measurements will already make him stand out.
Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa measured in at 6-foot even and 217 pounds, per source.

Hand size: 9 7/8 inches.
Yup, it's measurement season. The first thing pundits will take notice of is Tua's hands size, and his 9 7/8-inch mitts are relatively impressive (Justin Herbert ranked just above him, at 10 inches).
While his 6-0 height isn't prototypical for an NFL signal caller, that didn't affect him in the SEC, and it won't bring him down in the pros. For comparison, Russell Wilson is 5-11, 215 pounds. He's been okay for the Seattle Seahawks, if you ask us.

While Joe Burrow is expected to be taken No. 1 overall by the Bengals, Tagovailoa shouldn't have to wait long to hear his name called. Where will he end up? We'll find out in late April.
