Bryce Young's height and weight have dominated the NFL Combine headlines, as the sports world waited with bated breath to hear the official measurements of the projected top pick in the 2023 Draft. Well, Young's Combine measurements officially came in on Saturday morning, as the Alabama star checked in at just over 5-feet 10 inches tall in height and weighed in at 204 pounds.
Twitter, already buzzing with speculation, exploded with reactions, jokes and even comparisons to Kyler Murray. Here are some of the best ones.

Everyone's previous suspicions that Young, who was listed as 6 feet tall, clearly looked the same height as Kyler Murray turned out to be warranted.
In fact, not only were Young's height and weight eerily similar to Murray's but they also tied the Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowler's NFL Combine record for the shortest QB measurements since 1998.
At that point, the Twitter jokes started pouring in.

But these surely won't be the last height and weight jokes that Bryce Young has to deal with.
Others were simply stunned that someone of that stature was able to pick apart one of the best defenses, the Georgia Bulldogs, college football has seen in recent memory in the 2021 SEC Championship game.
So you're telling me Bryce Young was only 5-10 and 1/8th of an inch when he went 25-43 for 412 yards and 3TDs to beat the best collegiate defense of the past decade? https://t.co/TwiqJD2oUk pic.twitter.com/Ed0rUL0JcD

Others, took a, er, philosophical approach to Bryce Young's NFL Combine measurements.
Bryce Young at 5-10 and 204lbs has a BMI of 29.3 which makes him borderline obese. Woudnt touch him with a 10 foot stick of butter

Bryce Young's height and weight are sure to have people talking for quite some time.
