Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback BRYCE YOUNG took the first snaps at quarterback during practice earlier this week, which was a shift from veteran ANDY DALTON being the first man up atMore previous practices. Head coach Frank Reich said that he and GM Scott Fitterer “earmarked” this week as the time to bump Young up in the rotation.

Carolina Panthers quarterback BRYCE YOUNG got off to a great start at the team’s three-day rookie camp, with head coach Frank Reich saying that “he did everything right”. While he wasMore facing mostly undrafted and tryout players, Young showed the footwork, decision-making and processing that made his size a nonfactor the past two seasons at Alabama.

Factoid: Will Levis

When the NFL Draft kicks off tonight, there's little consensus as to where Kentucky quarterback Will Levis will be selected. One wild rumor circulating this week has him going No. 1 to Carolina. No. 2 to Houston is possible. Another has him slipping out of the top 10 and being drafted by the Patriots. A polarizing prospect.   more »
