Peyton Manning, Eli rave about Alabama QB Bryce Young: ‘He’s the most game-ready’
Peyton Manning and brother Eli aren't concerned about Bryce Young's height, and think the former Alabama quarterback looks like one current NFL star.

"I think (Drew) Brees and Russell Wilson are kind of the easy comparisons because of the size similarities," Manning said, per AL.com's Mike Rodak. "But when you talk to real scouts, Burrow is kind of the guy that comes to mind, right? Because of, sort of, the sixth sense in the pocket, the decision-making, processing information quickly.
"I'm not saying Bryce is going to have that same success as Joe right away. But I think the instincts that Joe has that Bryce had, the ability to beat the coverage keeps a lot of plays alive. … Recognition, processing, instincts, you see a little bit of Joe Burrow in Bryce Young."
Young's mental makeup has been one of the big selling points for coach Nick Saban throughout the pre-draft process. As Young's coach has gone to bat for him, he has said the former Heisman winner sees the field like a point guard.
The Mannings seem to agree.
