German QB Alexander Honig: ''If you were to build a QB, this is what it would look like"

[Rock Strongo]

'If You Were to Build a Quarterback, This Is What It Would Look Like'

At nearly 6'6" and 235 pounds, Honig possesses NFL size as a 17-year-old. And the part that has coaches and scouts really interested in the 2021 prospect is what he can do with it.

Honig's 38-inch vertical is better than any quarterback has posted at the NFL combine since Robert Griffin III in 2012, per Pro Football Reference. His 123-inch broad jump would tie for fifth among QBs at the combine in that same time frame. And he complements his hops with a 40-yard dash in the 4.7s and has hands that have been measured at 11 inches—a measurement B/R draft expert Matt Miller says is the largest he's ever heard of.

"He's enormous, strong and athletic," says Barton Simmons, director of scouting for 247Sports. "He has very unique physical traits and a cannon for an arm."

the nfl loves his huge hands already.

So he has been playing Football against little German guys for two years and NFL scouts are salivating over him???

...but how are his social media skills? Has he said anything racist yet? If not then he’s not ready for the NFL.

Winston approves of this

How's the windup?

Can be tough for tall QBs.

That blazing 4.7 40 time should serve him well. It also sounds like he is pretty good at standing in a stationary position and jumping really far to another stationary position.

The next great QB for sure.

To give you an idea: "Gronkowski’s hands measure 10 ¾ inches.."
