NFL teams are not caring two cents about Bryce Young’s height right now.
He is winning coaches, scouts, general managers, and owners over with his poise, confidence, leadership, and football intelligence in team interviews at the NFL Scouting Combine. NFL insiders Dov Kleiman and Jordan Schultz are reporting Young has been “sensational” in team meetings. Schultz, per sources, is saying teams look at Young’s football acumen as “off the charts.” He dominated the Southeastern Conference in two seasons as a starting quarterback for Alabama football.

He delivered the program its first Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. Young tossed for 8,200 passing yards and 79 touchdown passes in a conference that has monsters on defense.
