CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young can't help but look up to Cam Newton, easily the greatest quarterback in team history.
He's 5-foot-10. Newton is 6-5.
But Young's respect for Newton goes beyond physical stature. That showed recently on the red carpet at The ESPYs, where the top pick of the 2023 NFL draft was interviewed by the top pick of the 2011 draft -- and later given much appreciated advice.
"Just to keep your head down,'' Young said on Tuesday, as he reported for his second NFL camp after a disastrous rookie season.
