as officially reported this morning from the combine ... and commented on obsessively by the talking heads and draft pundits up until today:

2023 NFL Scouting Combine: Alabama QB Bryce Young measures in at 5-foot-10 1/8, 204 pounds

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, whose size has been a matter of conjecture in the run-up to the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, officially measured in at 5-foot-10 1/8 and 204 pounds on Saturday.

Bryce Young's listed height/weight at UA: 6-0, 194 lbs

Probably will hurt him with some teams given the avg qb is now about 6-3 or so.

However, some GMs look at him and see another Drew Brees winner. I'm with this group. Also, Being 204 lbs probably helps him.

Some GMs will use every opportunity to outthink themselves. Measureables aren't unimportant, but I trust a player's production thus far and football acumen to be a more accurate indicator of how good a pro they will be.

His being short doesn't surprise me, but 204# does. I'd never, not in a million years, bet that he weighs more than I do.

204?, He’s dense with muscle. Or he’s got some lead in his pockets.

This isn't the NBA...Russell Wilson is 5'11"...I've seen a lot of 6'5" QB's who had little or no feel for the game.

He has shown an ability to play at every level...they say that Joe Montana is 6'2" but I don't believe it...

Athletes with intelligence are hard to beat at QB...

If a GM picks Richardson over Bryce he should be fired by the owners immediately

 

[Tidelines]

Plays lIke he is 6’ 4” to me. It only matters if you let it matter.

Ehh, the shortness is an issue. Once defenses figured out Bryce can't see over the OL, they started pressuring him. It's why his escapability is so valuable - it's a weapon, but it's necessary.

He can be a great NFL QB, but if he were 4" taller he'd have a much better chance.

We all knew he was not 6'-0"

204? No way he played at that weight. Dude must have eaten a gallon of ice cream a day since the bowl game.

 

[Tidelines]

Bryce is so good at finding throwing lanes also. I know it helps to be 6’4” to throw over tall DLs, but there are tall QBs that can’t do what Bryce can do. He has never let height limit him and he won’t in the pros.

“Here’s the ice cream, if you get up off that couch Imma whoop you with a switch.”

Never has 15 pounds meant so much lol.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Bryce, a good O-Line and at least two sure handed receivers will get you home every time. Add a D and you are championship bound.

It’s been stated that he’s been trying to add weight since he got to Bama. Been working with dieticians and trainers to add good weight. Not Blue Bell and Little Debbie weight.

Blitzed him up the middle for sure

Blitzed him up the middle for sure

Bryce rolls to the right and hits a TE on a crossing pattern where the LB blitz from. He will get it done and at a high level.

 

[TideEngineer08]

His height was a problem at Alabama. But the OC will scheme around it. BoB never would, so our best plays were Bryce freelancing and getting out of the pocket.

That weight being 204 is a big deal. That will help him. Not sure if the height keeps him from being #1 overall though.

 

[tideindc]

We haven’t had the top pick since Harry Gilmer , if I’m not mistaken. It’s time for Another one.

 

[Tidelines]

So Bryce isn’t still a point guard ?

 

[Padreruf]

What is interesting to me is all the people going gah-gah over Anthony Richardson. Yes, he is a great athlete, but they act like he can be coached into an all-star. He had good QB coaching at UF and when you look on the tape you see flashes of brilliance combined with periods of average to below average play. His pass reading skills are abysmal beyond the first read.

That and the Giants paying Daniel Jones 160 million over 4 years have convinced me that many GM's are lacking something upstairs.
