Carolina Panthers rookie Bryce Young revealed he learned how to maintain his work ethic and hunger after speaking with NFL icon Tom Brady.
Young was selected first-overall by the Panthers in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the former Alabama quarterback was a coveted talent as the franchise gave up a lot to move up the order to select him. Ahead of the draft, the Panthers 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 for the rights to select Young.
The move appears to have paid off, as the 21-year-old is reportedly displaying a calm demeanour and composure behind his offensive line went undergoing drills. His smooth control and mentality belie his years and have made him stand out to staff during the early stages of Carolina’s preseason camps.
