2015 NFL Combine results: The QB measurements are in

You know you wanted to know about hand size.

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers weighed in on Thursday. For the quarterbacks, height and hand size get the discussion -- is he tall enough? Are his hands big enough?

As a general rule, a QB should ideally be 6-2 or taller, although there are special cases with guys who can succeed without the height. Also, a general rule is a QB has to have at least nine-inch hands.

Washington State's Connor Halliday doesn't make the cut if you have some minimum physical traits like that.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians likes his QBs tall and thick. Brandon Bridge, Brett Hundley (on the smaller end), Jerry Lovelocke, Sean Mannion and Jameis Winston fit the size.

Here are the numbers for the QBs:
