Young's built sturdier than Stroud per BMI

[MechaZain]

Just to add some fuel to the fire I plugged Bryce and CJ into a Body Mass Index calculator. Bryce I measured at his combine weight and listed weight at Alabama. The results kinda surprising:

• Bryce Young combine BMI: 29.3
• Bryce Young Alabama BMI: 27.8
• CJ Stroud combine BMI: 26.7

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Meaning Young has more body mass than Stroud even at his reported playing weight. So who are you more afraid for on a football field? The short, stockier guy or the taller one who is 10-20 pounds heavier?

Water weight doesn't count and that is exactly what Young did have since he is only 190/195 pounds.

BMI isn't an accurate measurement tool for athletes.

while i don't think BMI tells us anything, OP did do his BMI of his Alabama playing weight of 190 and its still higher than Stroud

BMI is by far my favorite thing to watch people talk about with the draft.

Concur.

I am 5'10, going by BMI I am considered over-weight at anything over 180 lbs, even though I workout 5-6 days out of the week in great shape.

Not building a workout routine here just comparing two guys. I think it's more accurate than the Huddle eye test.

those who are worried about his durability are always going to be worried about it.

he could be playing for 7 years before he misses time and you'll hear them all say, "you see, i was right! i'm always right. you all should have listened to me!"
