Bryce Young shares hilarious reaction to what he'd tell Will Anderson ahead of first NFL meeting
Bryce Young has had the privilege of not having to face Will Anderson in a full contact situation yet. That’s because the 2 Alabama All-Americans have played together for 3 years in Tuscaloosa.
Yes, they’ve faced each other in practice, but it’s highly unlikely Alabama’s staff gave anyone, much less Anderson, a green light to tee off against its star quarterback.
However, with both Young and Anderson declaring for the NFL Draft on Monday, the now-former Alabama quarterback will play against Anderson at some point during their pro careers. Young may very well be the No. 1 overall pick, while Anderson will likely be a top 3-to-5 pick.
During Young’s press conference on Monday to announce his intentions to enter the NFL Draft, he was asked what he would tell Anderson ahead of playing against him in the future.
“Please take it easy. Remember all the good times we had,” Young said, via Chase Goodbread. “Before we play I’ll probably send him a picture of us from freshman year together.”
Not only is Young is a former Heisman Trophy winner and star quarterback on one of college football’s elite programs, he’s easily one of the most likable players in the country. It also speaks volumes that Young (and Anderson) elected to play in the bowl game with his teammates instead of opting out and conditioning for the NFL Combine and Draft.
Young leaves Alabama with 80 passing touchdowns and nearly 8,400 yards passing. It was a remarkable career for both Young and Anderson, and both should have long NFL careers, too.
Bryce is bright….

For some reason this touches my heart a bit. I’ll admit part of me is just a big softy! Sort of reminds me of a goodbye from summer camp……
If you have ever had to say goodbye to friends at summer camp. I’m sure you understand!!!! It’s hard and a lasting memory for some!!!
Bryce & Anderson mostly had me on the edge of my seat with frustration for years. But they are great SEC players and there is a tad of sadness even for me as a Georgia fan!!!!
While I’m happy to see them go in one way. In another way there is sadness!!!!! The end of something special, regardless to who you root for!!!!
PS. As a Georgia fan, I think ill be able to adjust!!!!! LOL

Dirty NIL money I agree, I’m a bama fan first but an SEC fan second, so this coming Monday night guess what??? I’m a DAWG!! These moments with these kids regardless of what school they are from really pulls at you in a good way!!!
If only every college player handled themselves with as much class and grace as these two young men. It’s easy to root for them, even as a Dawg. I truly wish nothing but the best for their future careers.
Rvadawg06 you are so right, we as fans get a little crazy as we should but it’s all about the kids and their futures, even the guys who won’t be going to the NFL. Regardless of what school they are from these kids with class( which is becoming something of the past the days) really really pulls at your heart. But like I said I’m my post to dirtyNILmoney, I’m a Bama fan first and a SEC fan second, so go DAWGS and let’s get another NC in the SEC!!!
