Training camp is set for the Carolina Panthers with minicamps and organized team activities in the books.
Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, moved to the starting quarterback role in OTAs and mandatory minicamp for the Panthers under head coach Frank Reich. He impressed coaches and teammates with his confidence and performance in practice. Reich wants to get Young as many first-team reps as possible to prepare him for Carolina’s season opener in the fall.
