Former Alabama star Bryce Young has cancelled his remaining visits with franchises as the quarterback is set to be selected first overall by the Carolina Panthers in the 2023 NFL Draft.
February’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis saw a strong showing from the heralded quarterback class as Alabama’s Young, Kentucky’s Will Levis, Ohio State’s CJ Stroud and Florida’s Anthony Richardson all received rave reviews. Carolina certainly saw enough to make a move for their long-term star, completing a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears to move up to the first overall pick.
Ahead of this month’s draft, the Panthers made a huge to jump nine places and have their pick of the talent. The franchise traded the ninth overall pick, the 61st overall pick, a 2024 first-round selection and a 2025 second-round selection as well as star receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears.
