Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is having himself a day in the All-State Sugar Bowl. The quarterback who got off to a slow start to begin the game then caught fire for the Crimson Tide.

Young has thrown for 321 yards and five touchdown passes but one of his touchdown passes has fans across the country in awe.

Young’s fourth touchdown he threw to wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks had fans salivating not only because of the throw but the placement of that throw to Brooks.

Fans in the SEC and especially Alabama fans have seen this type of play before from Young.

Still even with his play, Young still manages to wow people with his ability.

NFL draft analysts like Mel Kiper Jr. didn’t even have Young as his No.1 quarterback in the draft. He had Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud and Kentucky’s Will Levis ahead of Young in the draft. Kiper might have to reevaluate his stance after watching Young play Saturday.

“Bryce Young!!, wow,” Dov Kleiman said on Twitter.

“Bryce Young is nasty,” Big Cat of Barstool Sports said in a Tweet.

“Bryce Young is the #1 overall pick in next years NFL Draft. I pray we don’t overthink this I find some arbitrary reason to move someone ahead of him,” Emmanuel Acho of ESPN said in a Tweet.

Although the Heisman winner had nothing to prove Saturday, he might have just shut a few critics up because he they didn’t think he is the best quarterback coming out in the draft.
