Bryce Young is out to prove Carolina Panthers coach Frank Reich right after being named the team's starting quarterback.
Young, 21, was selected number one overall in April's draft and has received the expected elevation to starter after attending two weeks of workouts over this offseason. Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, whom the franchise signed to a two-year contract the month before picking Young, has been beginning drills with the first unit during the first fortnight of OTAs.
That will no longer be the case now that Young is, as anticipated, listed as the starter. All three of last season's starting quarterbacks - Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and P.J. Walker - are no longer on the roster.
