Quarterback Bryce Young of the University of Alabama declared for the NFL Draft on Monday.

Young spoke Monday during a press conference and thanked his family, coach Nick Saban, his fans, and his teammates during his announcement for the draft. In Young’s latest outing last Saturday, he threw the football for over 300 yards and five touchdowns en route to Alabama’s 25-point victory over Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Young was voted the 2021 Heisman trophy winner after throwing the football for 47 touchdown passes and over 4,800 yards, according to Sports Reference.

The Heisman winner would end his 2021-2022 campaign by playing horribly in the second half of the 2022 National Championship game against Georgia. He threw a pick-six to Georgia’s Kelee Ringo during the final minute of the National Championship to lose 33-18.

Despite under performing in the national title game a year ago, Young would lead the Crimson Tide to an impressive 11-2 record this season. His two losses both occurred during road games against Tennessee and LSU but were both only one score games.

Young threw 32 touchdown passes to just five interceptions during the 2022-2023 season, despite the team not qualifying for this year’s College Football Playoff tournament, according to Sports Reference.

Based on how well other Alabama quarterbacks are performing in the NFL right now, Bryce Young may very well have a solid professional career lying ahead of him.

Quarterbacks Mac Jones of the New England Patriots, Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins, and Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, have all played under Saban at Alabama. If the play of these three are an indication of how Young will do at the professional level, then he might be worth the #1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

From the looks of it, the Houston Texans will have the greatest opportunity to draft Young in April after putting up the lowest win total in the NFL this season. The Texans have the worst stats in the pros with a 2-13-1 record with only one game remaining in the 2022-2023 season.

If Young can stay true to the grind and stay away from the lures of being a celebrity, I’m sure he will be able to have a solid NFL career. These Alabama quarterbacks give me no reason to doubt them.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
