CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- After Friday night's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young said he's ready for the Sept. 10 opener at Atlanta in every aspect except one.
Sliding.
Young took a lot of ribbing from teammates for the way he sat down on the artificial turf at Bank of America Stadium after a 13-yard scramble on third down that set up his first preseason touchdown in the 26-17 loss.
"Never claimed for it to be one of my strong suits," Young said with a smile.
