Bryce Young handles comments, questions and criticism about his height as often as he does a blitz from opposing defenses, which is to say a lot.

On Friday, as it turns out, Carolina’s rookie quarterback was trolled by a Giants staff member after a preseason game.

The staffer was setting up the microphone for Young’s postgame press conference when he said, “How’s this? I’m 5′9. This won’t block him?”

If you listen, you can hear Young off camera react, “The difference between 5′9″ and 5′10″ is huge.” It is clear the staff didn’t know for the former Alabama quarterback was standing there.

The Giants, behind quarterback Daniel Jones, beat the Panthers 21-19.

Young, who did little in his NFL debut last week against the Jets, showed flashes and put points on the board for the first time, taking the Panthers (0-2) on a 15-yard, 62-yard drive that Matthew Wright capped early in the second quarter with the first of his two field goals.

“I feel like there’s always room for improvement,” Young said. “It’s about trying to keep growing day by day. So I think the more reps and more experience you get, to go up against another team, that’s a valuable experience for me, especially in this league.”

Young played two series and was 3 of 6 for 35 yards. His best throw was a 15-yard toss to Jonathan Mingo on a play the former Alabama star read a blitz by Wink Martindale’s defense and found the hot receiver.
