Bryce Young might not be able to see over the offensive lineman’s hip pads.

Height isn’t his biggest issue. It’s his small frame.

Guy will need a top 5 OL just to make it through a season.

My concern as well...

We don’t know young’s height or weight.  He is probably going to bulk up to over 200 at the combine and not work out and then not weigh again at his pro day.

He's strictly a system qb. You will have to play him in the Shotgun every snap. Don't believe me? Check the tape.

How often do we even see QBs line up under center these days? If you see a QB under center it's probably a QB sneak.

Just saying, it limits your offense.  Will it be an issue? Who knows. I guess as they beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I'm significantly more concerned about his slight frame than I am his height. We've seen QBs of similar height have a lot of success. I mean, we all watched Drew Brees. I'm more concerned about him holding up long-term to NFL hits.

That too. It's a even bigger gamble taking him at #1, although he's probably the best of the class as far as pro readiness.

Batted balls have nothing to do with height. There isn’t bay data that indicates that short QBs get balls batted at the line more than tall QBs.

He can add muscle and weight.

But there are statistical facts that the league leaders in batted passes the last 3 seasons were at Least 6’4

You act like Young can't bulk up at all lmao

I wouldn't be surprised if Young comes in at 5'10"

Batted balls everywhere. 

The last month I've been saying, when the combine/pro day happens and teams get an up close look at his stature it's not too far fetched to think he might slide to 9. 

Height barely has anything to do with batted balls.  Josh Allen had the most batted balls this past season.  Cam always seemed to have a decent bit batted down even.  It relies a lot more on the oline and the qb ability to find a passing lane than height.

I mean Bama has the nearest thing to an NFL OL that exists in college football. Was never an issue.    It’s not like we haven’t seen 6ft QBs before.   Either you can play or you can’t.  

So what if he plays with an offensive line that isn't one of the best. Also NFL defenses are different than anything he's ever faced. I don't feel comfortable having a QB that size in the NFL regardless of how well he can throw the ball. But if he falls to 9, I guess you have to take him. That won't happen though

and scheme/predictability.  If JJ Watt knows what the play is too often....he can get in the passing lane and time it.  You can be Yao Ming at QB.
