Wow, check out how small Bryce Young looks in rookie mini-camp for the Panthers.
Will he survive in the NFL after being so short and small as a QB?
Same size as he was at Bama and the players he played against were the same size as the NFL players. When a QB has the mind, the size does not matter.
Will he be the second coming of Brees? Not sure about that but he came into college ball really smart with the ability to not let his height be a deterrent.
His ability to process what is happening on the field in real time was the best that college ball has seen in a long time. His incidence of hitting the right receiver under the circumstances was unmatched when he played in college.
The other thing he has is "Joe Montana Cool" on the field. Look at his eyes late in tight games. Now, look at Josh Allen's at 6'6". Allen gets "Danny White Eyes", not to be confused with "Bette Davis Eyes", who could probably read the field better than Allen but just didn't have the arm.
Young was by far the best decision making QB in this draft but he also was surrounded by 5 star players with others waiting on the bench.
One thing to always consider when taking any Bama player, they just don't have anything less than 4 stars and 5 stars are willing to ride the bench to get one season and go in the 1st round. That would be my concern with Bryce Young.
