NFL Exec Says Bryce Young's 'Weight Was Manufactured for the Combine' Ahead of Draft

Former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young's smaller frame has been a point of criticism throughout the predraft process, although he did weigh 204 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

However, one AFC front-office executive told Dan Pompei of The Athletic that Young's weight was "manufactured" for the event.

"His weight was manufactured for the combine, then his agents didn't allow him to get weighed at his pro day," the anonymous executive said. "He's a 185- to 190-pound guy frame-wise."

Numerous scouts told Pompei that Young weighed about 190 pounds when they visited Tuscaloosa.
