Watching Bryce Young tonight against the Saints, to me, he looks overmatched. Too small, too slow, not a great arm. I was a big fan of his game, but I'm glad he didn't fall to #5.
To be fair, Saints D is formidable.
But watching Bryce at Bama, I think it wasn’t the size that concerned me as much as the arm. I always felt he saw where to put the ball as good as anyone, but his arm didn’t always let him get the ball there.
He’s ramping up to NFL speed, but I think a huge part of his adjustment is realizing that a good number of his creative plays at Bama won’t translate to the NFL. Not when the ball is a beat slow getting to its destination.
His skillset should still challenge our D since we don’t have a pass rush close to the Saints, but long term, reasons for concern with Bryce.
