The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine got underway on Monday as some of the positional groups started to measure and weigh in. Among the groups was the quarterbacks.
Here is a look at the measurements of some of the notable signal-callers:
LSU QB Joe Burrow
Height: 6-3 4/8
Weight: 221
Hand: 9
Arm: 30 7/8
Wingspan: 74
Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa
Height: 6-0
Weight: 217
Hand: 10 (left), 9 7/8 (right)
Arm: 30 4/8
Wingspan: 75 2/8
Oregon QB Justin Herbert
Height: 6-6 2/8
Weight: 236
Hand: 10
Arm: 32 7/8
Wingspan: 78 7/8
Utah State QB Jordan Love

Arm: 32 5/8
Wingspan: 80
Washington QB Jacob Eason

Georgia QB Jake Fromm

Takeaways
- Jordan Love was the biggest winner out of the crop. At 6-foot-4 and 224 pounds, Love looks the part with a well-built, sturdy frame. The former Utah State product boasted the biggest hands at 10 1/2 inches.
- Justin Herbert came in as the tallest quarterback, by no surprise. Last month, Herbert weighed in at 226 pounds at the Senior Bowl, but is now up 10 pounds, but is still possessing an athletic frame. It’ll be interesting to see if the gain in weight effects his agility drills.
- Tua Tagovailoa measured in as one of the shorter quarterbacks, drawing comparisons to Seahawks’ Russell Wilson with his stature. However, Tagovailoa’s hands are among the biggest at his position, which is a plus.
- Both Joe Burrow, the projected No. 1 overall selection and Jake Fromm were both scrutinized for their small hands, as Burrow barely met the threshold and Fromm was slightly under. For Burrow, it doesn’t dock him as much, but it does for Fromm a little bit since his physical traits are below NFL standards.
