Here's just one quote from the article that should put this to bed:


The data resoundingly confirms that there is no actual correlation between hand size, fumbles and passing efficiency. Since 2014, there have been several studies that analyzed data from hundreds of NFL quarterbacks and each one concluded the same thing: The hand-size myth is laughable. As USA Today put it: "Hand size has nothing to do with a quarterback's ability to hold on to the football [even in cold weather]. ... Just to drive that point home, the correlation coefficient between the number of letters in the quarterback's name and their fumble rate is six times stronger than hand size."

You beat me to the ESPN article.

No meaningful correlation of any kind between hand size and success.  Period.

It is completely made up on false logic and perpetrated by media lemmings.
