Joe Burrow hits critics again while talking about his ‘tiny hands’
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has received plenty of praise for his caption game on social media.
Sometimes he’s got unique stuff that gets a laugh. Other times, like this past week, he’s dipped back into a well-traveled well for fun.
Over on Instagram, Burrow shared a photo of his work at practice last week with the caption that says “Hands don’t look that small here.”
That’s a reference to back in 2020 before Burrow was the No. 1 pick, when his “small” hand measurements prompted negative comments from onlookers.
He even wrote this in a gem of a tweet at the time: “Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands. Please keep me in your thoughts.”

Granted, the 9-inch hand measurement was one of the smallest for a first-round passer since 2008, but it was pretty obvious that the rest of his game would translate quite well to the pros.
