INDIANAPOLIS — As soon as the height and weight digits trickled down on Saturday morning for Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, the predictable avalanche of comparison rumbled in behind it.
5-feet-10 and 1/8th of an inch tall. Weighing in at 204 pounds. Cue the social media juke box and set it for replay..., who registered the exact same height at the NFL combine in 2019 and came in only three pounds heavier.“That was what we expected,” chimed in another evaluator, who spent significant time canvassing both Young and Murray. “We knew [the similarities] even if fans didn’t.”
Now we're four seasons and a handful of injuries later, and the dice-roll on Murray has been met with mixed reviews. Undoubtedly one of the league's most dynamic playmakers when he's performing at his peak,have been about his leadership and inability to play through seasons without some kind of impactful injury. Despite those continued questions, he landed a 5-year $230.
Asked to parse out the differences between Young and Murray if they really aren’t similar players beyond their size, there was a consensus on almost every point. Murray was evaluated as a more elite athlete — with a better throwing arm, better athleticism and a more evasive running style. He also is a player who teams expect believe represented an accurate weight when he came in at 207 pounds in 2019.
“He’s got leadership skills and character without drama,” one evaluator said. “[Bryce] is also more like Drew Brees in that he plays bigger than his size from the pocket. Watch Bryce’s throwing motion and tell me it doesn’t look more like Drew Brees.”
