Burrow's Hand Size Is His DOOM.......

I have to wonder what those numbers would look like if he played in an outdoor bad weather division like the AFCN.

(If you were wondering, Dalton clocked in at 5.1 fumbles per 16 starts. Mostly inflated by notable bumps in 2016 when Ogbuehi was a starter, and last year. He averaged 3.7 fumbles per 16 starts in his other 7 years.)

Key line:

Quote:Part of the problem for Goff is how slight he is. It’s clear that there is room left to be filled out in Goff’s frame. Given his weight, Goff naturally does not absorb hits as well as others, and it can lead to him being severely jolted upon impact.

Not only is Burrow more-than, "slight," in comparison to Goff, but how many times have we seen him pop back up from hits?

He's not Goff at all.

They talk about hand size in the next line, but only in relation to the fact that Goff is slight and can't take hits.
