The Carolina Panthers have used their 2023 NFL Draft overall first pick on Alabama star quarterback Bryce Young.
Young, 21, has been in the conversation as one of the top draftees since he declared for the NFL Draft after lighting up the college game during his two years at Alabama. The Philly-born football star quickly wrote himself into Alabama’s history books, holding the record for the most passing yards in a single game, after completing 559.
Young also asserted himself as one of college football’s top stars in 2021 after being the recipient of the Heisman Trophy, which is awarded to the most outstanding player that year.
