Bryce Young Declares for Draft: Seahawks ‘Next Russell Wilson’?

At Alabama, Bryce Younger has been in comparison with Steph Curry. And possibly in Seattle, he may find yourself being in comparison with Russell Wilson. 

We imply that in all the great methods, after all.

Younger on Monday declared for the NFL Draft, and with Seattle holding a premium decide in April, a Younger analysis is merited.

Younger’s five-TD-pass efficiency for Alabama in Saturday’s Sugar Bowl has accelerated the concept of Younger being anyone’s subsequent franchise QB.

Over the course of the season, ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit has been among the many specialists who’ve in contrast the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback to the Golden State Warriors celebrity Curry

“That’s my favourite athlete,” Younger stated on the sector throughout a current interview. “I respect that, Kirk. That’s the most effective comparability I can get. It’s a honor.

Younger could be damage by his lack of measurement (he is 6-0, 195) … however the sake was stated of Wilson, who regardless of his post-trade struggles this yr in Denver is a possible future Corridor of Famer primarily based on his Seattle resume.

There are different choices right here, on this draft and within the constructing, with crew MVP Geno Smith about to hit free company … and deserving of Seahawks consideration.

What does Herby say?

He’s in a position to distribute. He’s in a position to rating, and that confidence with somewhat stroll off there. That’s Bryce Younger. The character. The best way he leads his crew for Golden State and the best way Bryce leads his crew for Alabama. They appear like the identical man.”

And possibly Younger and Wilson “appear like the identical man,” too … in all the great methods.
