Bryce Younger disappeared behind his offensive line at Panthers camp

One of many few knocks on Younger coming into the draft was his smaller measurement — at 204 kilos, he was the primary QB underneath 207 taken within the first spherical since 2003.

“The Bryce Youngs don’t come round fairly often the place you get anyone that — doesn’t match all of the specs however — is supremely gifted,” NFL Community analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout for the Eagles, Ravens and Browns, mentioned earlier than the draft. “I simply thought he has the very best tape of anyone on this class. All the things he does on-schedule, off-schedule, accuracy, poise, ball placement, play-making means, being nice in these large clutch moments late in video games, managing video games, all that stuff is off the charts.”

He was by far the smallest of the highest pass-throwers taken within the draft, with the likes of C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson and Will Levis towering over Younger as compared.

Even when there have been any lingering issues about his measurement, the Bryce Younger bundle was tantalizing sufficient for Carolina to make him its centerpiece.

“It was unanimous with each man in that room, ranging from Scott [Fitterer] on down, that Bryce was the man,” Panthers head coach Fred Reich mentioned on the draft. “That was nice for me to listen to.

“It wasn’t a lot convincing. You simply watch the tape, there’s lots mentioned concerning the measurement. On the finish of the day, there’s a number of components that go into it however we’re coaches, we’re scouts, we watch the tape and while you watch the tape Bryce Younger is the very best participant.”
