Bryce Young is one of the top prospects for the next NFL Draft. However, people are concerned about his height. According to bookie pay per head sources, Young stands 5-foot-10 1/8 inches. Also, he weighs 204 pounds.
Anthony Richardson performed excellently during the NFL Combine at the Lucas Oil Stadium. However, Young caught the attention of many team decision-makers and scouts. One thing that could be a hindrance to him being the top pick or the first quarterback picked during the draft is his height.
Bookie PPH reports suggest teams are looking for sturdy franchise quarterbacks. That way, they can stay healthy for years. Young’s height will make him one of the smallest QBs in the league. However, Young does not believe his height should be a cause for concern.
Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson at the NFL Combine
Richardson bolstered his case by running the 40-yard sprint in 4.43 seconds, the fourth-fastest time for a quarterback since 2003. The former Florida quarterback’s vertical jump of 40 1/2 inches set a record for his position at the combine. His broad jump of 10’9″ equaled Matt Jones of Arkansas for the most outstanding performance by a quarterback since 2003.
Nevertheless, several clubs are still thinking about drafting Young. The 2021 Alabama Heisman Trophy winner has a powerful arm, fast release, decent accuracy, mobility, and a tendency to make huge plays on the move, all desirable traits for professional organizations.
Kyler Murray, who Arizona selected first overall in 2019, and Russell Wilson, who Seattle chose in the third round in 2012 and guided to the franchise’s sole Super Bowl victory before leaving for Denver last season, could be the most comparable players.
Saturday was the day when the quarterbacks, tight ends, and receivers were to complete their on-field exercises in Indianapolis, but Young announced he would not participate. Instead, scouts will get another look at Young during Alabama’s pro day.
