Is Bryce Young’s size a concern for the Texans? Coach DeMeco Ryans on what he looks for in a QB.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said team is more interested in Alabama quarterback Bryce Young's production and leadership instead of his height and weight.PHOENIX — When it comes to quarterback Bryce Young, one topic that is often brought up is his size.
“You put on the tape and you see the kid play, you see how smart he is, you see the anticipation, you see the accuracy, you see how this guy is calm in critical moments.”Young, despite his size, won the 2021 Heisman Trophy. In his last two seasons at Alabama, he threw 80 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions. He was 23-4 as a starter.
When asked about the Panthers trading up to get the No. 1 pick, Ryans said it had no effect on the Texans. He declined to say whether they would discuss moving up for the No. 1 pick, or whether they had a discussion with the Bears before the Panthers made a move. The top quarterbacks are often criticized prior to draft day. Last year, Kenny Pickett was heavily picked apart because of his smaller-than-average hand size. Pickett ended up being the first quarterback taken at No. 20. He figures to be a part of Pittsburgh’s long-term plans moving forward after winning the starting job.“Look at the track record, see what he’s done in the SEC, the highest level of college football, he’s been successful,” Ryans said.
“At the end of the day, they’re both productive players and they’ve played in big games and they’ve both shined in big games,” Liipfert said. “Regardless of position, you want to draft productive players, you want to draft good people and those are guys, along with a lot of guys in this draft, who check a production box and they’re both good dudes. I’ve talked to both of them, and I would say they’re both good guys. I like both of them.
