The Carolina Panthers took Bryce Young with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, opting to go with the former Alabama star over C.J. Stroud, who went No. 2 to the Houston Texans.
Well, so far that decision by the Panthers isn’t looking like a great one, which was very clear to see in Week 9’s games. Stroud had a monster day for the Texans, throwing five touchdowns in a thrilling victory over the Falcons, while Young threw three interceptions, including two that were brought back for touchdowns, in an ugly loss at home to the Indianapolis Colts.
You can see those two INTs right here:
INT! Bryce Young throws two PICK-6s in one game.
