Bryce Young throws a pass during Alabama's Pro Day

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Monday the Indianapolis Colts are working out both C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young.

The Colts are working out both Ohio State QB CJ Stroud and Alabama QB Bryce Young today in Southern California (where the QBs are training), per sources. Indy was sparsely repped at the QB Pro Days, preferring to do it this way.

They'll get a close look at all the top QBs.

Stroud and Young were both spotted training with one another over the weekend in California alongside former Alabama quarterback, Jalen Hurts. With both players already in the Golden State, the Colts decided this would be the best time for them to get an additional look at the prospects.

The Colts have been doing their due diligence on the 2023 NFL Draft quarterback class, giving thought to selecting any one of the four top prospects. Selecting Kentucky’s Will Levis or Florida’s Anthony Richardson might be more in their reach with the fourth pick they currently possess, but with the Arizona Cardinals already having Kyler Murray and picking third, trading up inside the top two would likely suffice.

This will be tricky to accomplish however because both the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers pick ahead of Indy and are considering using their first-round picks on Young or Stroud.
