Been doing some research on this kid. This kid is unbelievable. No wonder there is a buzz around him given his size. Just looking at his abilities on the football field, he's a wizard. Has great feel for the game, can make all the throws, can run, has vision and can feel pressure. He has it all.

The only negative is his size. Currently listed as 6' 194lbs. He balooned to around 194lbs for the combines but his normal walking around weight might be closer to 180lbs. As a comparison Patrick Mahomes is 6'2" 224lbs. Drew Brees was 6'0" 209lbs. So there is definitely a risk.

But man this kid is good. If we do decide to trade Fields and roll the dice with Young, I wouldn't mind one bit.

Bryce measured at 5'10 1/8, 204 lbs at the combine. Didn't run or test, will wait for his pro day.

With Stroud and Richardson tearing up the combine, this class could be much better with QBs than initially believed.

I also heard Bryce measured in at 5’10.25”. He’s pretty much exactly Kyler Murray’s size.

Because he needs time to shave the bloated weight off.

Actually because he has nothing to prove as the nearly consensus #1 QB prospect. All anyone was concerned about was his frame, so he got measured/weighed and interviewed.

I stand corrected. The page I looked at had Murray at 190 something.
They’re all different. I was about to post just what you said because I saw young was 194 somewhere, but the combine said he was 204.

The 204 should be accurate and current. I didn't see any footage of him at the combine (he didn't compete in any of the drills) to see if it was good or bad weight.

Murray was 207 at the combine, but I keep seeing his weight as 194 on other sites, maybe that is current? Either way, they are comparable in size.

Every year there are undersized players who magically weigh more at the combine. And those guys almost never run at the combine. Probably a coincidence though.

All anyone was concerned about was his frame, so he got measured/weighed and interviewed.

And was scared to do anything requiring movement. Because with the last second weight he gained he wouldn't look as good.

This year was unusual in that so many of the top guys did participate. Everyone will see Bryce at Alabama's pro day. He's not going to be able to hide if that was his intent (and it's nothing more than the #1 guy not doing anything to hurt his draft stock in reality, like every other projected #1).

You're right, they've never had any issues with QBs throughout their history.

They've had tons of issues.

Has absolutely nothing to do with Bryce Young though.

Just a cheap try at an easy insult. Do better.

Yep. And he will likely have lost the bloated weight he put on for the combine. But won't step on a scale.

Murray did the same thing at the combine. Showed up heavier than expected so his metrics checked out better than everyone thought. Didn't perform and then had a pro day. And a lot of undersized players tend to do the same thing.

Again...it's not a coincidence. You just gotta be slightly smarter than a rock to comprehend.
