QB BRYCE YOUNG, ALABAMA

PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 1
PROS:
  • Off-the-charts playmaking ability. He has uncoachable subtle pocket movements and creativity throwing receivers open.
  • Unphased under pressure.
  • Whippy throwing motion that has much more zip from all platforms than you’d expect.
CONS:
  • Size, size, size, size. Have you heard he’s small?
  • Sits deep in the pocket, presumably for sightlines. Makes life harder on tackles in the NFL.
  • Suffered a shoulder injury this past fall. Missed a game and a half.

Player comp: Deshaun Watson

Watson is 6’2", 215 pounds. I’d take Watson long before Bryce.

I won’t call Bryce too small for the NFL, but I will say he’ll be more challenged. Don’t expect him to be the QB beast he was in college.
