Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, signed a four-year contract worth $37.9 million on Friday, allowing him to begin training camp on schedule.
The deal is fully guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Rookies are scheduled to report to training camp on Saturday, with the Panthers' first practice taking place Wednesday.
Young, already elevated to the No. 1 quarterback spot on the depth chart, won the Heisman Trophy at Alabama in 2021 and set a school record of five games with at least five touchdown passes.
