NFL fans already couldn’t help but feel bad for Bryce Young after the Carolina Panthers’ decision to bench him . Sure enough, it was even more heartbreaking for many to actually see his situation.
On Wednesday, Young was seen publicly for the first time following the Panthers’ shocking decision. Despite what he’s going through, the 23-year-old signal-caller still took some time to sign a fan’s autograph before he headed to practice.
After that, a video of him in practice surfaced. It showed the No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft watching his QB1 replacement, Andy Dalton, take reps with the first team.
Many expressed their pain seeing Bryce Young in such situation. There were high expectations for him when he came into the league after three years in Alabama, where he won the Heisman and a national championship. Unfortunately, he has yet to find his footing in the pro scene.
Through two weeks of NFL action this 2024 season, Young has already thrown three interceptions while completing just 55.4 percent of his passes for 245 yards and zero touchdowns.
