NFL rookies turning heads: 1. Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers, QB

Yes, we had one UDFA, two Day Two picks, and the top two quarterbacks in the draft compile this list. It is what it is, but the omission of Bryce Young is unfair, considering what Carolina had to do to get him into their organization. They had to make a blockbuster trade with the Bears in order to land Young, and the price wasn’t cheap.

Draft choices and wide receiver DJ Moore were shipped to Chicago to bring the Tuscaloosa superstar to town. So far, the word out of camp is that Young has taken control of the offense, getting first-team reps and looking sharp. That’s everything you would expect from a guy taken at the very top of the draft.

Head Coach Frank Reich has a tall order ahead of him in trying to help the Panthers franchise get back to consistency. The good news is he has a young franchise quarterback to build around. Now, it’s on the organization to put the right pieces around him to help him have any chance of success.
