Size

Paxton Lynch is a monster of a quarterback. The Memphis product stands 6 foot 7 inches and weighs 244 pounds.

Anyone who watched a Memphis football game this season should be able to recall the team’s use of quarterback powers. The Memphis offense resembled the Carolina Panthers, in terms of how they utilize size at the quarterback position.

“But don’t let the numbers fool you, Lynch uses his body to his advantage and the drop off in rushing touchdowns could be attributed to his improvement as a passer.”

Lynch had no problem going toe-to-toe with defenders in the trenches. During his junior season he racked up 13 rushing touchdowns, compared to just two last season.

But don’t let the numbers fool you, Lynch uses his body to his advantage and the drop off in rushing touchdowns could be attributed to his improvement as a passer.

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson made it clear he likes quarterbacks with big hands. Paxton Lynch’s hands measured in a 10 1/4 inches at the NFL Combine, which brings me to my next reason.
