Bryce Young's been the best QB in college football over the past two years. And there's certainly a chance he'll be a great pro. But historically, it’s been rare for a QB 6'1 or shorter to succeed in the modern NFL.
There are exceptions – Drew Brees, Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts – and the increase in opportunities for shorter QBs we’ve seen the past few years - Kyler Murray, Tua Tagovailoa, Baker Mayfield - could continue to change that.
We're still dealing with a small sample size. That said, those exceptions have generally A LOT of help. Either around them, or in the form of freak athleticism. Will Young get that from the Texans? And does he have that kind of athleticism?

The latest update from Astros GM Dana Brown on the club's flagship station did not ease anyone's concerns this week. Brown said he was optimistic that Kyle Tucker would be back before September. September?

Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's Joel Blank and Barry Laminack share their thoughts on Tucker's health, the Astros' secrecy when it comes to injuries, and much more!
