I see Murray at 5’10” 194 and Young at 6’  194 when I Google it. I’m sure Young is really 5’11” and some change.

Maybe in college. 

Murray played 2021 at around 207 pounds. It was not insignificant for someone who stands only 5-foot-10. However, it looks like he might be entering the summer closer to 215 pounds. So long as it doesn’t hinder his speed and agility, Murray looks tough to bring down.

Yeah he kind of does. It’s more sudden quickness/twitchiness like Russ Wilson. I’m not not sure he can take the hits from NFL players that comes with that style of play though. 

If hes shown that, I may change my mind a little.....I dont want murray either, but he is a compacted 194 with eel skin.

If you take out the STers, the NFL is 200 LB and up league. yes there are rare expectations, smitty was one *eariler in his career until age got him while each of his calfs were still 55 lbs each.  Plus the NFL has been protecting QBs more with the BS calls, but in my book young needs much more for me to overlook reality...

That’s not really a fair comparison then. Young could bulk up the same after a few years in the league.

I think this is a scenario where the obvious easy layup is right in front of you and everyone will overthink it and convince themselves to take one of the other guys. I’d be happy with Stroud but if we get #1 please don’t overthink this. Get Young

  • He is able to evade pressure and get the ball out quickly. Ran a 4.4 40 at his pro-day. Has amazing mobility - only equaled in modern times by Mike Vick. Truly exceptional

Do we actually have any data on size/injury prevalence in the NFL? Cam was 6'5" 245lbs and his career was still cut short by injuries that occured mostly in the pocket. Meanwhile Drew Breese played till he was 40.

 

Football is a dangerous sport, injury is a risk no matter how big of a guy we trot out there. I want the guy who can make fast decisions and make impossible throws.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
