Thanks to social media, by Monday afternoon the entire world was aware of the fact that Heisman winner, Joe Burrow, is in possession of hands that measure 9 inches from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the pinkie finger, when outstretched. 

And now, despite leading his fellow LSU Tigers through a perfect season, Burrow has become the subject of scrutiny for the size of his hands. 

Critics say he has the smallest hands for a projected first-round quarterback since 2008. 

According to The Advocate, one of the NFL's best quarterbacks has hands on the smaller side as Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes measured in at 9¼ inches at his NFL combine. And two quarterbacks in the league right now have 9-inch hands in Jared Goff and Ryan Tannehill. 

While some are taking this critique of Burrow's hand-size seriously, most aren't. 

Even Burrow seemed to take it with a grain of salt, tweeting, "Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands. Please keep me in your thoughts.”

Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands. Please keep me in your thoughts.

Burrow reportedly was measured at 6 feet, 3½ inches and weighed in at 221 pounds. Quarterbacks are scheduled to work out at the combine from 3-10 p.m. Thursday.

Hopefully, Burrow and his minuscule hands will lead an NFL team to victory.
