The draft stock of QB Bryce Young could be negatively impacted by a viral photo featuring him alongside ESPN's Mina Kimes and circulating online.
A viral vid of ESPN's Mina Kimes and Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young is circulating as the latter awaits his name to be called at the 2023 NFL Draft.
As you've likely heard, many scouts and coaches are concerned about Young's size for NFL QB standards. The 2021 Heisman Trophy winner is listed at 6 feet in height and 194 pounds.
Numerous individuals on social media are joking that this side-by-side photo of Young and Kimes will further harm Young's draft stock. However, Kimes offered a straightforward explanation as to why Young doesn't appear much taller than her. Kimes stated that she was wearing four-inch heels during the photo shoot.
Young is one of the top four prospects who are widely expected to contend as the first overall selection in April's draft, along with Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, Alabama outside linebacker Will Anderson Jr., and Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Regarding inquiries about Young's size? One only needs to look at how future Hall of Fame inductee Drew Brees and nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson fared despite plenty of skepticism about them.
At the end of the day, it would be a significant shock on draft day if he wasn't a top-four pick.
