Alabama's team doctor tells jeffphowe that Bryce Young was the least-injured QB he's worked with during 15+ years with the Tide. He doesn't see Young's size being a problem in the NFL. More:
“I heard concerns during the combine about his size and whether he weighs over 195 pounds is a big issue,” Cain told. “My thought about Bryce Young specifically is I’ve watched him perform now for three years. I think he’s got tremendous vision. I think he’s very deceptively mobile. He’s one of those guys who rarely gets hit hard because he’s very smooth, mobile and deceiving in how he gets away from the rush. He moves well in the pocket.
That process starts in early January, within days of the conclusion of Alabama’s season. Cain, head football athletic trainer Jeff Allen and director of football rehabilitation services Jeremy Gsell conduct an exit screening process with their draft-eligible athletes.
“We had a player a couple years ago, a first-round draft choice, who had lateral meniscus surgery when he was a freshman in college that I had kind of forgotten about,” Cain said. “He never had an injury or any trouble since then. It didn’t even bother him. But we knew going into the combine that they were going to look into that knee because it was in his history.”, another example, broke his throwing hand as an early enrollee during the offseason before his freshman season.
With that type of draft investment, teams had to project when they could clear each player along with the potential for each to miss their rookie seasons. “It’s a pretty detailed evaluation process that most of them have not been through before,” Cain said. “They really don’t understand 32 different physicians looking at one knee, how grueling it can be.
Cain can pass along his informed opinions, but he can’t control how teams use them. Another example, defensive tacklewas viewed as a potential top-five pick in 2017 after a dominant and decorated career at Alabama, but his shoulder imaging rang some alarm bells because of some early-career injuries and arthritis.
