If he were eligible, Alabama star Bryce Young would be the first quarterback off the board in the 2022 NFL draft in the eyes of one NFC scouting director.
"He’s improved each week," the director said to The MMQB's Albert Breer. "Mature player who doesn’t force the ball, seems to take what the defense gives him. He’s good in-rhythm and shows the ability to make plays off script. Accuracy and arm strength are very good. He can anticipate and is improving his consistency."
The official also said Young, who can't enter the draft until 2023, may have a better resume than Alabama's last two starting quarterbacks, Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones, because he "has carried the offense at times this year" and hasn't benefited from the same type of supporting cast his predecessors had.
