I’m a big fan of Milroe, he’s an athletic freak and he’s incredibly smart.
Doubt he’s on the board in the 4th round but if he is, I’d love to see the Rams take him

I really like him as a gadget / joker type of player.

My future developmental starting QB consideration ended when I read about all the fumbles and later saw his small had measurements.

Does that affect your consideration of Zach Wilson? Small hands and 17 fumbles in 33 games

I'd want to research why 11 of those fumbles came in 2023 (had only 1 the prior season) though I'd guess not being ready for Aaron Rodger's injury during the first game and Mekhi Becton being his blindside protection didn't help.

Zach Wilson's hands measured in at 9 1/2"

Milroe's hands are even smaller at 8 3/4".

If he falls and we're keeping Stafford, I'm all for going after him. He needs a lot of development, but there aren't a lot of guys on the planet with his combination of size, speed, strength, and arm talent.

And he’s extremely bright. Graduated with honors in just 3 years

After a quick google search it appears that Milroe has the same hand size as Taysom Hill.

The only QBs I could find with smaller hands are Kenny Pickett and Michael Vick.

There’s a bunch of articles detailing a lack of correlation between hand size and fumbles.
Doesn’t seem to be the issue. Carson Wentz for instance has huge hands and is quite the fumbler.

Quarterbacks with small hands don’t fumble more than quarterbacks with big hands

Bo Nix has big hands, but that doesn’t mean he will be better at holding onto the ball than JJ McCarthy who has tiny mitts.

Hard to say because protection, weather, and the offense has a lot to do with it, too.

Wentz has been known to hold the ball for a long time trying to make a play.
