Potential No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young has drawn high praise from former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman.

"I think he has a lot of Patrick Mahomes style to him, and by that I mean he is one of the best off-schedule throwers that I've seen coming out of the collegiate game," Spielman said. "He does a great job for a small quarterback with his vision down the field. His anticipation and the way he throws the ball and he throws receivers open."

Young completed 64.5 percent of his passes for 3,328 yards, 32 touchdowns and five interceptions in 12 games played for Alabama this past season.

The biggest concerns about Young are related to his size. He's listed at 6-foot, 194 pounds on Alabama's website.

"Now, if this guy was 6-1, 210 pounds, he's a generational type quarterback, in my opinion," Spielman said. "But since he's so small, everybody's going to be nervous as heck to take him, because one, is he going to be durable enough to go through a preseason, go through 17 games, go through -- if they get all the way to the Super Bowl -- that many games and stay healthy? So that's a big concern I think with a lot of teams."
