Bryce Young, the guy tearing it up in the NFL this season, is making a major move during his bye week: he’s hitting up ESPN’s College GameDay this Saturday as the celebrity guest picker. The show’s broadcasting live from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, setting the stage for that massive Georgia-Alabama showdown later that night. You know he’s got opinions, and with how he’s been playing, everyone’s gonna be listening.
League-Leading Passing Yards? Yeah, That’s Bryce Young.
Look, if you haven’t been paying attention, you need to. Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2023 draft, is putting everything together so far in 2026. This dude is leading the *entire league* with 1,268 passing yards! Seriously. He’s completing 62.3 percent of his passes, slinging nine touchdowns, and only tossing two interceptions for the 2-2 Panthers. That’s not just good, that’s “take notice” good. He’s proving why he was the top pick, and it’s awesome to watch him finally click.
Back to Bama: Old Scores and New Picks
This isn’t just a random guest picker gig, either. This is Bryce Young, former Alabama star, going back to his roots in Tuscaloosa. Pat McAfee dropped the news on his show Thursday, and it makes perfect sense. Young knows that Georgia-Alabama rivalry intimately. He led the Crimson Tide to a win over Georgia in the 2021 SEC Championship Game, only to lose to them just over a month later in the CFP National Championship. So, he’s got history, he’s got perspective, and you can bet he’s going to have some spicy takes on that matchup. It’s a homecoming, sure, but it’s also a chance for him to weigh in on a game that means a ton to his college legacy.
So, mark your calendars for Saturday. You know Bryce Young’s gonna bring the heat with his picks, especially with Georgia and Alabama going at it later. It’s gonna be wild seeing what the league’s top passer has to say.
