Bryce Young Measures Identically to Cardinals QB Kyler Murray
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Arizona Cardinals won't be selecting Alabama Crimson Tide QB Bryce Young, though he's fairly similar to their own franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray.
Young - a Heisman trophy winner and CFP national champion - has been the subject of heavy dialogue and conversation despite his talent, play and production. Young's height and frame typically don't bode well at the next level, and plenty were curious to see exactly what Young would come in at when he was measured by NFL Combine officials on Saturday.
As it turns out, Young has extremely similar measurables to Murray.
Murray height: 5' 10 1/8"
Young height: 5' 10 1/8"
Murray weight: 207 pounds
Young weight: 204 pounds
Murray hand size: 9 1/2"
Young hand size: 9 3/4"
Murray - who also won the Heisman trophy in college at Oklahoma - is built fairly similar but also a very different quarterback. Murray's notably quicker, more dangerous as a runner and is able to evade pressure thanks to his agility.
There's been concerns about Murray's durability at the next level - and Murray has battled injury at some point through the last three seasons. His inability to read the middle of the field thanks to his height has also hindered him at times.
That's the life of a quarterback in the prototype of Murray, one built with shortcomings but ultimately not devastating. Murray's flashed his brilliance on more than one occasion and he's been rewarded with a handsome contract.
The jury is still out on exactly what Young is capable of doing at the next level, though Murray and other quarterbacks have shown that size doesn't tell the entire story on the football field.
