JUST IN: Carolina Panthers coach gives update on superstar’s unusual illness-farewell as he set to…..

The Carolina Panthers decided to select Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He is expected to be their long-term franchise quarterback, but his rookie season was a rough one.

Throughout the course of the 2023 season, Young ended up completing 59.8 percent of his pass attempts for 2,877 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also picked up 253 yards on the ground, but did not score a rushing touchdown.

That is not exactly a marquee match-up, eh?

The Carolina Panthers selected quarterback Bryce Young with the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but their first season with him leading the charge didn’t go so well. The Panthers finished last season with a 2-15 record, and that was the worst record in football. Carolina is hoping that Young can take some big strides during this offseason. So far, it sounds like things are going well for him.

Bryce Young didn’t meet expectations during his rookie season, but it was just one year. He has time to improve, and the Panthers are hoping that year two is a much better one for the young QB. OTAs just picked up for Carolina, and Young’s receivers are saying a lot of good things about him.

“He’s a great quarterback,” Diontae Johnson said, according to an article from ESPN. ‘Accurate. Smart. He knows how to get his guys in position. Whenever we’re out there, you can always count on him to get us in the right spot and make sure everybody knows what they’re doing.”

Last season, Young finished the season 315 completions on 527 pass attempts. He threw for 2,877 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Those numbers aren’t going to cut it, and Young knows that. He needs to be better this season.

Another Panthers player that has been happy with what he has seen from Bryce Young is tight end Tommy Tremble. He has seen some good plays from Young at OTAs, and he noted that he still has his swag.

“Bryce knew his read was open and didn’t stare it down,” Tommy Tremble said. “He turned his head and flicked it, and the second the ball left his hand, he turned around, pointed to coach [Dave Canales to say], ‘Completed, man!’ He’s still got that swag.”

This is a big season for Bryce Young and the Panthers. Bad rookie seasons happen, but this is year two for Young, and he needs to show improvement. So far, it sounds like this offseason has been good for him.
