Short quarterbacks and the NFL: two things that usually don’t mix well.
There are a few exceptions in recent history — Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and Kyler Murray , for instance — though shortest quarterback in the 2023 NFL draft, Bryce Young, is widely considered to be the number one pick according to most mock drafts.
The Alabama prospect won the the Heisman Trophy in 2021 and amounted for 86 total touchdowns and 8,385 total yards in two years as a college starter. According to ESPN’s Todd McShay, a scout told him that Young, listed at six feet tall, actually measures in at 5-foot-10 1/2.. “I know he’s 195 pounds; a really good friend of mine who’s a scout had him at 5-10 1/2.
“But I met with him, I’ve talked to him. He’s special. He’s different. He has the poise, the presence in the pocket, the playmaking, everything else you want.“I absolutely love Bryce Young. I would bet on him.”Young would be one of the shortest signal callers in the league, second to Murray who sits at 5-foot-10 andYoung missed one game in October after an injury to his right shoulder after a seemingly unextraordinary tackle.
