Smelter Highlight Vid

I saw him play a game in high school. He is a beast.

I saw him playing at GT. He was a beast.

Most of those plays were crucial in the situation too.

Yup, everyone in the stadium knew 3rd and long meant JT to Smelter, but he always seemed to get open.

Nobody has shown yet that they can cover him one on one, not a single CB on the schedule, and we have gone up against some good ones. One thing I love about our offense is the guarantee that we'll have single coverage on our WRs in the passing game.

Didn't Iowa play man with 2 deep safeties in the '09 OB?

Smelter had to be the most clutch player we've had around in a long time. He always seemed to make the big play when we needed it. He will be a HUGE steal in the draft. His weaknesses don't seem to be unfixable and you can't teach size and physicality. 11" hands is unheard of where I come from. Very high football IQ and just seems to really love being a playmaker.

This is what you can do with 11" mits:

Somebody educate me: how are the hands measured? little finger to thumb? wrist to index finger?

I think they do both. But the listed 11" is from wrist to index finger I believe. If it's from pinky to thumb my hands are over 9" and that just doesn't seem correct

This article says pinky to thumb.

To measure your hand like the pros, place your hand palm down on a flat surface and stretch your fingers as far as possible. The measurement is from the outside of your thumb to the outside of your pinky finger.

Btw, mine are 10.5

Ok so this 11" doesn't seem very large to me then. Hearing that Big Darren Wallers hands are only 9 and some change is weird. I haven't measured mine with a ruler but just guessing they are over 9" for sure. I'm about 6'1.

Yep and dominated highly touted Kendall Fuller. Anything after the 2nd round is gonna be a bargain for Smelter if he can fully recover from his injury.

Thanks. I measured mine at nine inches little finger to thumb. Just confirms my HS coach's observation that it was hard to sling the ball downfield with small hands. I proved him right.

But how girthy are your hands?
