Daily News | Carolina Panthers draft Philly-born quarterback Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick
Quarterback Bryce Young is no stranger to making history, and Thursday night proved no different.
At the NFL draft in Kansas City, Mo., the Carolina Panthers selected the former Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 1 overall pick. In doing so, Carolina made Young the shortest quarterback to ever be drafted in the first round, and the first Alabama player to go No. 1 overall since Harry Gilmer in 1948. Young also became the first Philadelphia-born player to be taken with the top pick in the NFL’s entry showcase.While Young grew up in Pasadena, Calif.
, was the closest Philly had to a No. 1 overall pick. Young joins Charley Trippi , Chuck Bednarik , and Ernie Davis , as Pennsylvanians to be drafted No. 1.in March, plans to build its offense around Young, who over the past two seasons has been one of college football’s most electrifying players. Last season, Young completed 64.5% of his passes for 3,328 yards, 32 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. Young was even better the season before. That year, Young completed 66.
Former Eagles offensive coordinator and first-year Panthers coach Frank Reich will surely be excited to get his hands on a young quarterback with such a dynamic skill set. Reich, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, takes over a Panthers team that went 7-10 last season and has said goodbye to top running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver D.J. Moore in the last six months.
