The Sports Place Draft Profiles – #2 Bryce Young

Bryce Young, ALABAMA (6’0 194)

JR, Projected Top 5.

TSP RANKING: QB #1

TSP PROJECTION: HOU, PICK 1

The ghosts of Alabama QBs have been household names for years, Mayfield, Hurts, and Tagovailoa to name a few. It seems like the trend will continue with Young

Young and Stroud are 1.A and 1.B at the QB spot respectively this year.

They have been mostly interchangeable at the #1 and #2 overall pick spot, but so far, Young leads the #1 voting.

What he does lack in size, he makes up for just how poised and calm he tends to be under pressure.

Young went to the perennial High School Football powerhouse, Mater Dei, So the 21-year-old is used to winning.

He is probably the best in this draft when it comes to leadership.

The Crimson Tide rally around him and his every move, and he is on track to do much of the same wherever he goes come draft night.

The very high floor for his career in the NFL is probably why he is going number one in most mock drafts.

The only question is how he handles adversity when it comes to the players around him. He’s had all-star athletes around him his entire career. That might not be the case at the next level.
