Are we about to see four starting quarterbacks in the National Football League with ties to the University of Alabama?
Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones, and Jalen Hurts are currently starting as quarterbacks in the league.
Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick in this recent NFL Draft, is mesmerizing everyone in Carolina. Teammates are enamored with him and head coach Frank Reich cannot stop talking about him. Local media have captured videos of Young dropping perfect passes throughout organized team activities. Reich loves Young’s football intelligence and how fast he processes information.

The Panthers have veteran Andy Dalton and Matt Corral, but Reich decided Thursday to advance Young up to the No. 1 quarterback spot for first-team reps. David Newton, an ESPN NFL Nation Reporter for the Panthers, captured Reich stating it was the ‘next step’ in the plan to develop Young. He wants to get the California native as many reps with the 1s as possible.
