A college coach with experience playing Alabama told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman they would choose Ohio State's C.J. Stroud over the Crimson Tide's Bryce Young.
Hendon Hooker, the injured Tennessee quarterback whose draft stock has steadily been climbing, could out-throw Young, the coach added.
"If [Young has] got time, he's gonna kill you," the coach told Feldman. "His arm is good in person, but Hendon Hooker has a stronger arm."
During the 2022 season, the coach indicated that their team was able to change up plays to successfully counter Young's throwing techniques.
"He's at his best extending plays in the pocket, and he throws dimes," the coach said.
