Kenny Pickett may want to ask for a reshoot from the Cleveland Browns’ PR team.
On Monday, the Browns held photoshoots for Pickett and the rest of the roster during the team’s 2025 media day. The Browns’ official X account uploaded individual snapshots of Cleveland’s quarterback room (sans Deshaun Watson). The picture of Pickett wasn’t exactly flattering.
Instead of posing or pretending to throw, Pickett simply stood still and kept a straight face. Fans clowned the photo for various reasons. Some compared the background to graffiti found in a gas station bathroom. Others joked that Pickett looked the least intimidating that anyone has ever looked.
I defended him til the death when he was in Pittsburgh… but man, this is the least intimidating photo I may have ever seen

But a handful of fans paid most attention to Pickett’s hand size. The Pitt product gripped the football with his left hand, barely seeming to cover a third of the pigskin.
Bro has baby hands 😭

The angle may not be the most flattering for the 27-year-old, but it’s widely known that Pickett has the smallest hands in the NFL. He’s made a habit of wearing gloves to better grip the football, which many attribute to his hand size.
Pickett may have the palm size of a normal American man. But he can accessorize his hand with a piece of jewelry unavailable to most of the population: a Super Bowl ring.
Pickett served as Jalen Hurts’ backup during the Philadelphia Eagles’ championship run last season. Kenny’s hands were big enough to throw a pass during the Eagles’ Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That clearly wasn’t enough, however, to shield him from mean-spirited fans online.
