Panthers send clear message to Bryce Young

Last season didn’t go the way Bryce Young or the Carolina Panthers would have hoped after trading up to select him with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, as the team finished with the worst record in the league. But it looks like Young is looking to turn things around this season.

In a recent press conference, Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan sent a pretty clear message about Bryce Young when he said he believes the young quarterback is “on a mission” to be great.

“I think Bryce is one of the hardest-working guys in the locker room,” Morgan said, according to the Carolina Panthers’ team website. “I know he’s on a mission. I know he’s driven to be great. I know he’s committed to this franchise and wants to make it great. We’re going to do everything we can to surround him with the best players, the best protection … so we have to do our part, too. But I know Bryce is hungry, he’s focused and we’re very excited about him.”

It remains to be seen how Young can bounce back this season after a disappointing performance in his rookie season.
