CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterbacks coach Josh McCown was explaining the artistry of movement in the pocket to rookie quarterback Bryce Young early during offseason workouts when head coach Frank Reich interrupted.
Reich showed the No. 1 overall pick of the draft that if he slides away from his throwing arm side, he has to put extra zip on the ball so the pass arrives on time. He explained it in a clear, concise language that few other than a former quarterback could know.
"You can tell almost immediately when somebody has played the position,'' Young said of Reich, who played in 118 games over 14 years in the NFL (1985-1992).
