Bryce Young’s NFL player comparison is another former Alabama QB

Bryce Young’s NFL player comp is a familiar name to Alabama football fans!

Former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is expected to be one of the first players selected in the 2023 NFL draft and could very well be the first overall pick.

Fans who might not watch too much college football need to know what to expect from a certain player, or how the general public views a player. That’s where NFL player comparisons come into play.

For Young, ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller believes Young’s abilities and size resemble that of another former member of the Crimson Tide, Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins.

“Young entered the 2022 season with high expectations as the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, and he answered the call with 3,328 passing yards, 32 TD throws and just five interceptions,” writes Miller. “He showed growth as a player, displaying poise, pocket awareness and field vision. There will be many questions about Young’s size (6-foot, 194 pounds), but his on-field work is that of a franchise quarterback.”

Young will have to wait until the draft on April 27 to know where he will begin his professional career.

Bryce Young is already drawing comparisons to a future Hall of Fame QB

Bryce young still has at least one more season at the collegiate level, but the NFL is already eager to have him.

Alabama quarterback [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] will be a junior in the upcoming 2022 season, which means he is eligible to enter the 2023 NFL draft once the college football season concludes. Though nothing is guaranteed, it’s not likely that the reigning Heisman Trophy recipient will return for a senior season.

NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah recently put together a scouting report on Young. Jeremiah mentions positives in Young’s game, such as his accuracy and decision-making abilities. He also points out aspects of Young’s game that need improvement, such as a need to bulk up before getting to the NFL.

He offers a comparison. Jeremiah believes he sees shades of former New Orleans Saints quarterback, and future Hall of Fame member, Drew Brees.

“There really isn’t a clean comparison for Young. However, I see the most similarities to a young Drew Brees,” Jeremiah writes. “Both guys lack ideal size, but they make up for it with elite processing and accuracy. I think Brees was a similar athlete at that stage of his career. They are pure point guards. The ball comes out quick and the placement is excellent.”

Finally, Jeremiah states that he is excited to see Young perform against a young and eager Texas A&M defense, as will highlight Young’s strengths and display his ability to perform under serious pressure.

Mac Jones earns impressive player comparison from NFL analyst

Former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones is expected to be one of the first QBs drafted in the first round. Who could he resemble in the NFL?

Former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones was not expected to perform as well as he did in the 2020 college football season. Leading the Crimson Tide to national championship No. 18 and being a Heisman finalist was not something many thought would happen.

However, he did it, and is now expected to be a first-round quarterback in the 2021 NFL draft.

Where he may land is still a heavily debated topic. Though, some analysts believe that his abilities are similar to that of future Hall of Fame players.

Peter Schrager of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” believes that Jones’ ceiling could be as high as Drew Brees.

“The basement on Mac Jones, from everyone you talk to, the basement is Kirk Cousins,” Schrager told Andrew Siciliano. “The ceiling, if he’s unbelievable, and he’s the perfect prospect … might be Drew Brees.”

There are rumors circulating that Jones will be the No. 3 overall pick to San Francisco, however others think that the 49ers could go with Ohio State’s Justin Fields instead.

NFL analyst gives interesting player comparison for Najee Harris

Najee Harris is set to take the next step in his career. But who is he similar to in the NFL? An analyst explains who Harris reminds him of.

Former Alabama running back Najee Harris not only made his mark on the Crimson Tide during his time with the team, but the entire college football community.

Harris, who finished No. 5 in the final Heisman voting, flashes speed, power and overall athleticicsm. He’s a danger to oppossing defenses as a ball carrier and a pass catcher.

In his four years at Alabama, Harris carried the ball 638 times for 3,843 yards and 46 touchdowns. He also managed to catch 80 passes for 781 yards and 11 touchdowns.

NFL analyst and former professional quarterback Dan Orlovsky gave Harris an interesting player comparison: Matt Forte.

Forte played in the NFL for nine seasons on two teams.

“He reminds me a lot of Matt Forte,” said Orlovsky. “First of all, I think that they both run with grace yet power, but also the second-level vision that they have. It’s like that spidey sense where they see the flow of the defense, and then they have the ability to cut back. And then their past catching ability; this isn’t just guys that are you know we could check it down to them, but we could use them as weapons throwing them the football. So I love them both with similar running styles, but also the reality of how good they are in a first, second and third down pass-catching threat.”

Harris is a potential late first-round pick in the upcoming 2021 NFL draft, and many consider him to be the best running back in the draft class.
