Heart over height

With a high-contact sport like football, Bryce Young would have to adjust. He would have to find a way to be effective despite his comparatively small size.

The man is, however, quite accustomed to carrying his own weight on the field and said, “I’ve been this size, respectfully, my whole life, I know who I am, I know what I can do. For me, it’s fair, everyone can speculate, ask me every question. I’m going to continue to control what I can control, continue to keep working my hardest. … I’m confident in myself. I know what I can do.”
