Since the moment the clock began ticking on Panthers quarterback Bryce Young’s future as a blue-chip prospect, there have been plenty of concerns about his stature.
The first sentence of his 247Sports scouting report from November 2018, in fact, reads, “Has a slight frame and needs to bulk up and add some size and strength.”
The weight has come—Young, listed at 183 pounds as a recruit, has bulked up to 204—but the height has not. The Heisman winner is actually listed an inch shorter with Carolina than he was in high school.
