Panthers Name No. 1 Draft Pick Bryce Young Starting Quarterback

Bryce Young has taken over first-team quarterback reps in practice for the Carolina Panthers.
Panthers head coach Frank Reich says promoting Young is "the next step" in his development into the team's starter.
The Panthers drafted Young with the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft with the expectation that he would become their franchise quarterback.
Reich hinted but didn't confirm that Young will likely start Week 1 if he continues to impress in training camp.
Despite the promotion, Young says he is staying focused on constantly improving and earning the respect of his teammates.
