Honestly, I hope not. 

For two reasons. One while he is wowing everyone atm, it's still not even training camp. Let's let the young man learn and be a rookie for more than five minutes without piling extra responsibilities on him that aren't a requirement.

Two: seperate from Bryce as a person, imo if an NFL team is naming ANY rookie a captain, it suggests a lack of veteran leadership on the team. I think we have enough capable vets on offense (Moton, Bozeman, Hurst, Sanders, Chark, etc) without having to name a rookie captain. Sure, do fans prefer for captains to be longtime players for the team instead of FA's in their first year with the team? Probably. But so what, how much does it really matter?

If Young turns out to be anywhere near as good as we expect him to be and he looks capable of, he'll be a team captain for the next decade. I see no need to rush it.

Part of being a Captain, is having the battle experience.  

Not college battle experience. 

Not OTA battle experience,

Actual NFL Regular season battle experience.  

I realize it's  a players vote, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him voted, but he honestly shouldn't.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
