Bryce Young talks with Matt Leinart about his Heisman Trophy chances

Bryce Young has played his way into the Heisman Trophy conversation, and is one of the best quarterbacks in the country.

During an interview with Matt Leinart of FOX Sports, Leinart pointed out that the Alabama quarterback is one of the best QBs in the country under pressure, with 15 touchdowns and 1 interception with a near-perfect passer rating. Young said that success begins with the preparation of watching film to learn where the pressure will come from each week.

Leinart also asked Young about potentially being the first QB from Alabama to win the Heisman.

“It would definitely be a blessing,” Young said. “We’ve had so many greats here. Being able to accomplish something like that would be a blessing, but for me, that’s not really my concern. Our goal is to always win a championship. For me, it’s really just to win Saturday right now, obviously that’s the next step that’s necessary.”
