It wasn’t a huge shock Thursday night, but that didn’t stop the Alabama Crimson Tide from letting the emotions fly as one of its own was selected No. 1 overall in the first round of the NFL Draft.

The official Crimson Tide football social Twitter account released video of the team, which gathered to watch the draft, as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Carolina Panthers had selected former Tide quarterback Bryce Young with the first pick in the draft.

Young will sign a four-year contract worth about $41.217 million with a signing bonus of around $26.976 million with the Carolina Panthers after being the first player picked in the 88th NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Young has certainly been busy this week as it was announced he signed deals with Jordan, per Nike, as well as Snickers.

The first day of the draft was dominated, of course, by the quarterbacks.

Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson were among the top four picks Thursday night, an expected result in a rich draft class that’s been anticipated since last year. The surprise in the first round was that Will Levis didn’t hear his name called.

Young, the slender and dynamic Alabama quarterback, was drafted first, seven weeks after the team made a blockbuster trade with Chicago to move up to get their choice.

The biggest question surrounding the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner is size. He measured at 5-foot-10 1/8 and weighed 204 pounds at the combine. Though he dominated the SEC, some scouts and coaches fear Young may not be able to physically withstand all the hits in the NFL.

“Those that doubt me are entitled to their opinion,” Young said after he was drafted. “I think that is the beauty of sports. We all come together and have arguments on who you think is good or not. I choose to focus on what I can control.”
