After raising doubts with a rough preseason debut, 2023 No. 1 pick Bryce Young started to win over Carolina Panthers fans Friday.
During preseason action against the Detroit Lions, the rookie quarterback arrowed a 16-yard throw to Adam Thielen for the first touchdown pass of his Panthers career.

Young finished the night 7-for-12 for 73 yards and a touchdown, adding three rushes for 21 yards on the ground.
It was a far cry from the Alabama product's August 12 performance against the New York Jets, when he completed four passes for 21 yards and was sacked once.
