5'8 Diego Pavia has 9 5/8" hands compared to 6'6 Max Iheanachor's 9" hands.

For reference Kenny Picket had 8 1/2" hands.

9" hands on a 6'6 guy is a bit odd. That's like Kenny Pickett sized hands.

I'm hoping he's very very different that Busterick Jones

Allar is terrible. I might spend a 6th or 7th rounder on him, no higher. And I am a Penn State fan.

Many years ago I met a college teammate of Ben's who did not go on to play pro ball. He told me, unsolicited, that Ben was a jerk. I believed him then and I believe him now. Frankly who cares, he delivered us two Super Bowl wins. And without him all the choir boys in the world wouldn't have won shit.

I think one thing we know for sure, given McCarthy's historic preferences is that it will NOT be a "4 TE centric offense." What dazzling modern NFL offensive scheme can we expect to see from Coach McCarthy? I mean it won't be dazzling, but it'll have West Coast vibes, which is more modern than what...

Guess a young, innovative, and now Super Bowl winning offensive mind was too extreme for the Steelers to consider. Must stick to paleolithic 4 TE centric offense.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this Kubiak was never on the Steelers radar, IIRC. They had some interest in his brother.
But let’s face it…A2 knew he was hiring McCarthey five minutes after Tomlin walked out his door…

If true, why the F not?

He'll be out of the league in a year, maybe two.

Yes, I agree McCarthy will be sitting on his couch again, permanently, in a year or two.

Now that it's official that he's leaving to coach the Raiders, how much do we regret not even interviewing Klint Kubiak for the HC job?

Too bad coward Rooney wouldn’t hire an innovative young coach instead of a double retread 60 year old.

Do you think he would have taken the Steelers HC job, if actually offered (which we know it was not)?

Pickens had twice the production and half of the drama as DK this season....them's the facts.

But keep telling yourself trading Pickens while signing DK to a $150,000,000 contract was the right move.

But I heard Pickens has a bad attitude. It could cause him to do something crazy like go fight a fan in the stands and get suspended for two crucial games that almost cost the Steelers a playoff spot. Oh wait...

I would think all of you would have learned by the last 19 years that talk is cheap.

He started crying about 10 seconds into the press conference. This clearly means the world to him.

I admire the hell out of that.

Win a playoff game first and then I'll cry.

He said he was taking a year off (but that didn't come down until late last week); so you can say they were already going to take McCarthy before McD was fired.

Lazy rushed hiring process

Sprint to the podium!

McDermott grew up in Pennsylvania (Philly area) too.

If we wanted an established HC instead of a up and coming coordinator why wouldn't we have interviewed former Bill's HC Sean McDermott?

We all know the Steelers LOVE sprinting to the podium during the early rounds of the draft rather than take the allotted time and entertain possible trades. Was rushing to hire McCarthy when he had zero other offers equivalent to this common Steelers practice which I can only imagine is done to make...

Hope Ohio State fans like running 4 TE sets…

They're saving dozens of dollars in not having to replace the "Mike" nameplates on the head coach's office.
