Well if he ran a sub 4.5, he'd be a top 7 lock. You'd do that for that pay increase, if you could. 

Again, he's not NOT running the 40, he's just not doing it at the combine, which has more or less been standard practice for most Top 10-15 picks over the last decade or so.

If he was trying to not run, he wouldn't be doing the drills at the Big 12 combine and/or pro day, he'd say he has a tweaked ankle or something to avoid running a slow time.

Look out for a Pinky sprain at Pro Day.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love him to run a 4.45. I heard you mention his top end tracker a few times. Question is how long to get there?

Yea not sure, but it's like I've always said about him, yes it takes him a few strides to really get up to speed, but once he's moving, he's MORE than fast enough to be an elite WR given his size.  The speed he hit at some point during his first 2 years (haven't seen any data from this past season) was I think 20.8 MPH, which would have been I think 8th fastest speed hit in the NFL this past season.

I'm still convinced the people who don't think he has the speed/quickness necessary have only watched his short highlight reels that consist of his craziest contested catches.  As I've also said, he was 5th in the Big 12 in YAC, he's way better after the catch than you'd expect for a player of his size.

It's all a trade off due to his size, you lose the track star immediate speed, but you gain the catch radius that comes with him.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
