When throwing a football, small differences in the finger and hand movements can impact the ball’s trajectory a lot. Especially with the pros, there’s a very tight window of opportunity when throwing a pass, so quarterbacks want the best feel for the ball.

Most of the QB’s that wear gloves usually have smaller hands so the gloves give them a better grip on the ball and less likely to drop it.
