Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) and Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) enter year four in the league, while Mac Jones gears up for his third season with the New England Patriots. Bryce Young is in a position to be the fourth starting signal-caller in the NFL with ties to the Crimson Tide. He was selected at No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers, and the organization is in love with him. Frank Reich, the Panthers’ head coach, moved Young to the No. 1 spot to gain first-team reps this offseason.
Reich wants Young to be prepared should he become the week one starter versus the Atlanta Falcons.
