I'm 6'2 and my hands are like 8.5". I can palm a basketball, but just barely.

That's unusually large. Pretty sure the average hand size is like 7.5" or so.

Yeah, hand span makes a lot more sense as a functional measurement.
Aside: I have a friend who has some of the largest hands I've ever seen; it's like he has a bunch of bananas attached to his wrist. He's 6'3 but he wears size 9 tennis shoes.

I don't even feel comfortable throwing a football with my hands. I never feel like I can get on top of it. Can't imagine with hands almost an inch smaller.

Damn, I had never measured my hand before. I'm 6-3 and have 10 1/3" hands.
I can spin it, too. Edit: 8 1/2" from wrist to tip of middle finger. |

Why? I'm not getting why you think the pinky to thumb measurement is better for a QB than the palm to middle finger. A QB is NEVER going to have his hand stretched like that while holding the ball. Having a large hand (pinky to thumb-wise) won't help you grip the ball any better. But having a large hand (palm to MF) will.
