Now that the NFL Combine has wrapped up, draft boards are taking shape, yet there’s still a sense that Alabama’s Bryce Young is likely to be the No. 1 overall pick. While others, like Ohio State’s CJ Stroud and Florida’s Anthony Richardson, shined during Scouting Combine drills, Young entered the week as the top prospect, and he did nothing to diminish his value.
All Young did was simply show up to the NFL Combine, but that was enough, as what many wanted to see was his measurables. Coming in at 5-foot-10 1/8 at 204 pounds, Young at least matched Kyler Murray‘s size, which would seem to be an indication that he deserves merit for the No. 1 pick, as Murray did in 2019.
NBC Sports’ Peter King had a chance to speak with several top NFL decision-makers, including one anonymous general manager of a team in need of a QB who didn’t hesitate to share his opinion on Young.
