Former Alabama OL pleads with Carolina Panthers to do one thing

A National Football League that will be at the top of the 2024 draft is the Carolina Panthers.

It picked up its franchise quarterback in this year’s draft with Bryce Young, but he needs help.

The Panthers fired its head coach and need offensive linemen and playmakers in the passing game. Carolina won one game, and it took Young overcoming six sacks to accomplish it versus the Houston Texans. He is one of the most sacked quarterbacks in the league as a rookie. Chris Owens, a former Crimson Tide offensive lineman, was Young’s teammate in 2021 — the year he became Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback. Owens, a two-time CFP National Champion, shared on social media the one thing he wants the Panthers to do. Owens knows Carolina has an elite talent at quarterback; however, he cannot win alone.

We will see if the Panthers get Young more help in the upcoming NFL Draft.
