Gabe Jacas hand "grew" an inch and a half from Senior Bowl to Combine.... LOL....

Gabe Jacas is a very interesting highly athletic EDGE prospect from Illinois with plus plays on the tape.

Senior Bowl his hand was VERY SMALL at 8 3/8th inches, which hurt his Draft stock

But now at the Combine....

NFL Combine measurements tracker 2026: Hand size, height, weight and more for Fernando Mendoza, other notables | Sporting News

Here's how the top prospects at each position at the 2026 Combine have measured.

The hand is 10 inches... which would help his Draft stock, bigger hands help EDGE's fight off blockers and secure tackles and sacks.

LOL!!!



I tend to trust the Combine #s.... over the all star bowls

The EDGE position worked out yesterday.



Winners

David Bailey TXTech - almost assured now of being #1 edge picked
Dani Dennis-Sutton Penn State
Malachi Lawrence UCF
Jaishawn Barham Mich
George Gumbs UF
Trey Moore Texas


Losers

Rueben Bain Mia short arms small hands
Cashius Howell TA&M ditto
LT Overton Bama slow


Jacas did not work out, but "won" by correcting his hand size issue...


"winning" the Combine is not winning on the football field, but is related. There are "freak athletes" who for one reason or another aren't good at football. There are "combine disasters" like Derwin James of the Chargers who become NFL stars. But those are the exceptions, not the rule.
