**Position:** Quarterback **Jersey:** #9 **College:** Alabama **Drafted:** 2023 NFL Draft, Round 1, Pick 1 **Height:** 5'10" **Weight:** 204 lbs ## Biography Bryce Young is the franchise quarterback of the Carolina Panthers and was selected first overall in the 2023 NFL Draft following one of the most decorated careers in Alabama history. A former Heisman Trophy winner, Young built his reputation on exceptional football intelligence, anticipation, accuracy, and composure under pressure rather than overwhelming physical size.

Under head coach Dave Canales, he showed significant improvement as he became more comfortable within the offense, displaying quicker decision-making, improved pocket movement, and stronger chemistry with Carolina's young receiving corps. Young excels at reading defenses before the snap, throwing with timing and anticipation, and extending plays without relying solely on his athleticism. His leadership and work ethic have made him a respected presence inside the Panthers locker room, and the organization continues building the offense around his strengths. ## Strengths - Elite football IQ - Quick release - Accurate short and intermediate passer - Calm under pressure - Natural leader ## Playing Style Young wins with timing, anticipation, and processing speed rather than arm strength.
