He said he had the wrong gloves on. They gave him 4X, he wears 5X. He said I knew as soon as I lost the ball I had the wrong gloves on. I don't know why I put them on they know I wear 5X but after the fumble I went to the sideline and changed gloves. of course he fumbled again later on but we got it back.

His hands are amazing and the feet on the sideline. He also looked faster in this game, showed an extra gear a couple of times after the catch.

I don’t know about a second gear. But he is so awesome at everything else not sure it matters. He’s def no burner.

Do you think he was being serious? I thought he was kidding. I know he has big hands but does he really wear 5XL gloves?!? Is there even such a size?

Why WOULD he put on gloves that are too small?? I can't imagine he gets his gloves seconds before going out on the field and has no opportunity to switch to the right size. Plus, as we learned from O.J., if gloves are one size too small, you CANNOT put them on! :D

I agree. He has fun with some of his answers. For instance, after the catch against the Bills he said “It was just a better catch by I”. He has is a bit of a character.

Hell, I thought there was only small, medium & large lol? That's all I see when I buy work gloves anyway.

He slammed his helmet first before taking off the gloves. He was pissed. So was I lol. I'm not sure it was the gloves, imo the DB just punched the ball at the perfect time, a split second before he secured it.


On his long reception, had he cut back inside before going to the sideline I think he could've gotten another 10 yards at least? He said it was the 4th quarter & his legs got heavy on that long run after the catch.

As my good friend Johnny Cocktoasten once said, if the gloves don't fit, you must not fumble it.
