Aaron Rodgers also has small hands for a QB.

I'll have to see if I can find a piece I read back when we drafted him about his hands compared to other WR's...there were plenty with as small or smaller hands who were very successful in the NFL. As for the body catcher thing, that's what they said about Antonio Freeman when we drafted him. He turned out pretty well for us.

One thing Janis has is jets, strength and lateral agility. He should be able to make plenty people miss, run over some who don't, and run it in for 6 just like in St. Louis. I'm trying very hard to recall a player who was as electric as he was with the Pack. Randall and that play vs. New Orleans where he ran the wrong route for 6 in his NFL debut is about the closest that comes to mind. He just looked fast forward.

Clearly, Janis is a stud in the making...he doesn't get rostered last year if he wasn't thought to be because other teams were just waiting to pluck him from our PS, and our org was wise enough this time not to let that happen. It learned from it's mistake with Charles Johnson.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Anyone worried about hand size should know that Davante Adams and Jeff Janis have the same size hands... 9.0"

T.Y. Hilton's hands are 8.5" and he seems to do pretty well with them.

The talk of Janis and small hands was just something to write for the "negatives" on his draft profile by Nolan Nawrocki. Janis isn't going to be successful or unsuccessful because of his hand size.

BTW, on the Rodgers hand size thing...his hands are 9 3/8"... Teddy Bridgewater who is hammered for his "tiny" hands checks in at 9 1/4". Tony Romo has 8.86" hands. Much ado about nothing. Rodgers a whole 1/4 of an inch bigger than Teddy Bridgewater.

Janis might be an all-pro and he might not ever catch more than 20 passes in this league until we see him earn some significant real playing time we don't know what he'll be. David Clowney used to rip up preseason then disappear when the real lights came on. I hope that's not the case with Janis. If Janis lives up to the hype though that's 4 deep at WR without even accounting for Abbrederis or Montgomery. That would be a hell of a roster right there. There's a lot to be excited about at the WR position for this coming season, I can't wait to see how it plays out.

David Clowney didn't even make it a half season with the Packers.

I'm willing to bet if Janis had an attitude problem, a year on the bench probably took him down a peg. I'm hoping we keep at least 6 wideouts, and if a 7th shows potential I'd rather us hold on to him the ultimately let him go to the Vikings! Isn't it about time for a roster prediction thread? haha. Less than 100 days till kick off! WOOO!
