Bryce Young refuses to weigh in at his pro day

[rochrist]

Bryce Young refused to weigh in at his pro day. He measure 5'10 and at the Combine he weighed 204. Speculation is he deliberately gained weight before the Combine and now has lost it again and is trying to keep it from coming out.

I’ve got the opposite issue when hiding my weight…

Doug Flutie was 5' 10", 180 lbs. Of course, he wasn't considered to be in contention for the number 1 pick in the draft.

I have a feeling Bryce Young will be a 1st round pick but not the #1 overall because of those size concerns. Can he take the beating of a full NFL season? Very talented kid but I have my doubts.

So the small, scrawning kid couldn't beat out the slightly bigger pudgy kid at Alabama in 2020.

And he was a marginal starter. But it was a different NFL back then.

But Kyler Murray has shown that very short, athletic QBs could have a very short shelf life. But I don't know Young's video game habits. So Murray might not be a good comp.

Tua is slightly larger than Young, 6-1, 217 per pro football reference... he's been bashed to pieces over the last few years...

None of those guys are worth their hype. I dunno about Young, but Tua & Murray - non merci.

Makes the Brady evaluation even more stupid. Beyond the fact that he was a proven winner, at a big school, with leadership and accuracy - he had the best ability of all : availability. Big guy, solid….

The people who cry about the draft - in this forum - has no idea how much of a crapshoot selections really are. It’s a minefield.

It seems like it's so hard to determine durability. While conventional knowledge suggests the bigger guys are more durable, and in general that seems to be true more often than not, there are plenty of big QBs who end up being frail and small QBs who end up being durable enough. Brees was somewhat small but he held up well. Russell Wilson is even smaller but generally hasn't missed much time.

Tua has concussion issues. I am not sure how being taller makes you less prone to concussions.

 

[VectorPrime]

I bet he’s 5’ 9” at best. Which is my height but as far as I know no multi billion dollar sports franchise is looking to place all their hopes and dreams on my shoulders.

Tua has suffered an injury that caused him to miss time every year since 2018 and only this past year was it his "back" being concussed. It's been his ankle/knees/finger/hands getting hurt. He's been pretty beat up.

Well, have you bothered asking?

It's more about being slender than it is tall... His frame never really bulked out... He got tossed around on more than a few hits that left his head bouncing off the ground... Add to that all the lower leg injuries he's had which potentially slow him down.... At 6'1" he could easily carry 225 ... More strength, harder to tackle... Lbs and dbs can't tackle with abandon...

Also, he has no idea how to fall.

He was measured at the combine. 5’10?”, and an apparently questionable 204 pounds.

There is probably a lot of truth in that statement

Being taller generally means you are heavier and stronger. Not always but generally. Concussions are related to acceleration and deceleration which is lower, with the same input, with a larger stronger mass.
