Last year, when you looked at the QB Class, it was very underwhelming. No one stood out at the NFL Combine. No one separated themselves from the pack, and the end result was only 3 QBs taken in the 1st 3 rounds and 1 QB taken in the 1st round, EJ Manuel, and he wasn’t even picked until 16th. This year’s class of QBs is looked at in a much higher regards, with 4 QBs not only projected to go in the 1st round, but possibly 4 in the top 8 picks. The height and weights of QB are always looked at closely, because even with the few exceptions like Drew Brees and Russell Wilson, most look for their QB to be at least 6’2 and at least 215 or more.
The 4 QBs that are going to be coveted in this year’s draft are Teddy Bridgewater from Louisville, Blake Bortles from Central Florida, Johnny Manziel from Texas A&M, and David Carr’s brother, Derek Carr from Fresno State. Bridgewater has been questioned about his thin body. He came in at 6’2 and 1/8th 214 lbs with a hand size of 9 and 1/4th inches. Manziel’s height was in big question and he came in at 5’11 and 3/4th 207 lbs with a large hand size of 9 and 3/4th inches. Blake Bortles is much bigger than those 2, coming in at 6’5 232 lbs with a 9 and 3/8th inch hand size. Carr measured 6’2 214 lbs with a 9 and 1/8th inch hand size.
Below is a list of all the heights, weights, and hand lengths of all the Quarterbacks.
