CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The move was something one would expect from former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, known for his exuberance on and off the field. Maybe Baker Mayfield. Or Brett Favre in his prime.
Not Bryce Young.
The soft-spoken 23-year-old goes out of his way not to draw attention to himself. He might not be the first NFL quarterback you'd expect to pull off a flashy move since Carolina made him the top pick of the 2023 draft.
But there Young was during Sunday's season finale, standing inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with his back to the play and his hands in the air signaling a third quarter touchdown before his fourth-and-1, 12-yard pass reached tight end Tommy Tremble in the middle of the end zone.
