Maybe he can get some custom cleated AF1s… that should give him almost 2 inches.

I doubt that would be good for his balance, good way to roll your ankle.

Can't imagine we'll be doing a ton of 4th and 1 QB sneaks or jumps over the line

Drew Brees did it more than we think

I’m sure there are a number of huddlers that can teach him a thing or two about weight gain

2nd all-time behind Brady in sneak attempts.

I don't think it's as dangerous as the average sack. How often do QBs get injured doing a sneak? I remember Mahomes a few years back and that's it. Fumbling seems like a bigger concern with them.

Yeah I was thinking he could find a seam and sneak right in.  Smaller and lower center of gravity might help a little.

‘How’s his height going to affect him?’ Everyone was talking about, ‘He’s five-ten’. OK, what are the limitations here?

 

“Usually on a shorter quarterback, that’s being able to throw over the middle of the field for the first eight to 10 yards. One thing about Bryce is he can see over the middle of the field. We did the heat map with him where a lot of his completions were right over the middle of the field. Guys who are six-three, six-four, getting balls batted down, throwing over the middle, lower completion rate. The one thing about Bryce, he had a really high completion rate. He only had two batted balls and then you’re like, ‘OK, this guy understands how to slide in the pocket, how to find the windows and the throwing lanes.’ There’s a real art to that and he makes it look so easy. . . . They’re very subtle movements. He’s finding that lane, he’s throwing the ball. We didn’t think the height would be a factor with him. It was something we definitely studied, and you have to study it because it’s a real thing, but he does have those compensating factors.”

just throwing this out there.

I've yet to see Young throw up those Russell Wilson baseball prayer shots and land them. Wilson Magic was real for a long, long time. If Young has those, that would be great. But Wilson and Murray both have baseball pedigrees and Young doesn't. I'll be interested to see if that plays a role in how Young performs versus how Murray and Wilson translated to the NFL.

Trey Lance broke his ankle on a QB sneak.
