Young’s often harder on himself than others are, and throughout the locker room — on both sides of the ball — a confidence grew this year.
“He’s just showing who he is, man,” cornerback Mike Jackson said. “A lot of people talk about how little he is and how he can’t get it done, and it’s just like he don’t listen to it.
“He’s a silent killer, and I love that about him. So, he just showed who he was.”
His fellow captain, Derrick Brown, also said that Young has proven this year that he can play and can lead.
“Man, Bryce has had a damn good year,” Brown said. “So many people rag on him, and s—, if it was easy, everybody would play quarterback in the league, but that ain’t quite the case.
“So man, I’m just proud of him and his growth throughout the year, standing tall in front of the team, no matter if it was when we got beat in New England, coming to the locker room, we got something to say. I mean, we get it every single week.”
