Playing Style
Bryce Young is a creative pocket passer who relies on his mobility in the pocket.
Since Young is small in stature compared to the average NFL quarterback, he relies heavily on his field vision, anticipation and quick release to keep defenses off balance. Young is not an elite runner, but has scrambling capabilities when a play breaks down.
NFL.com compared Young to Drew Brees, which explains his capabilities very well. A fellow undersized QB, Brees finished his career in 2021 one of the most accomplished players in league history.
