CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales had nothing but positive things to say about quarterback Bryce Young Tuesday during the NFC coaches breakfast at the NFL's annual league meetings, saying the No. 1 pick of the 2023 draft "does well in high-stakes situations.''
He left no doubt Young would play a significant role in the organization's future, something he couldn't say a year ago when there was so much uncertainty following a disastrous rookie season by the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner.
That's something no Carolina coach has been able to say the past seven seasons, during which they've had 10 different starting quarterbacks.
