Apparently, the veteran combine's 40 timing method makes times slightly slower than the actual combine's time, so his time would likely translate to somewhere in the 4.40 - 4.49 range.

 

5'11 & 177 lbs measurables. Not terrible for a potential scrappy slot receiver type. Plays professionally in Japan and it seems as if he dominates the competition. He was invited to Atlanta's 'international practice squad' a few years ago and Baltimore's training camp in 2013, apparently impressing.

 

 

Caught some awfully thrown passes in this highlight video, and seems to have some shiftiness and tenacity.

 

Training camp fodder? I'll take it 10 times outta 10. Love guys that have something they're trying to prove. He likely can't hang with NFL talent, but deserving of a look IMO.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
