Quarterbacks, tight ends and receivers arrived in Indianapolis to part in the NFL job fair, otherwise known as the scouting combine.

The process began Monday with players undergoing tests and measurements.

The hands of presumptive No. 1 pick Joe Burrow, of LSU, were measured at 9 inches, from pinkie to thumb. Social media fluttered after it was reported that his would be the smallest hands among first-round quarterbacks measured at the combine since 2008.

Burrow replied in kind tweeting he was “Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands.”

For the record, Georgia’s Jake Fromm has smaller hands. Here’s a look at the top QB prospects measured up:
