SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer and assistant general manager Dan Morgan were headed to the Wofford College cafeteria on Tuesday when they saw something they hadn’t before.
A confused Bryce Young.
The rookie quarterback had been doing his laundry and was trying to figure out if he had time to “switch it out" before a team meeting. The player who always has a well thought-out plan genuinely was a bit rattled, something seldom if ever seen on the field.
The moment came to mind when Fitterer was asked how the top pick of the 2023 draft earned the respect of his teammates on his way to surpassing veteran Andy Dalton as the starter.
