ESPN: Panthers Wouldn't Be Surprised If Bryce Young Is 'Something Like' Joe Burrow

The Carolina Panthers are setting their sights high with Bryce Young.

Dan Graziano of ESPN reported they are hoping the 21-year-old has an impact "something like" the Cincinnati Bengals experienced with Joe Burrow, a franchise quarterback who instantly turned around an also-ran franchise.

Both the front office and coaching staff believe Young has "the talent, character, intellect and maturity to be their starter right away."

It's worth noting Burrow's impact wasn't exactly immediate. He was 2-7-1 as a starter during his rookie season and finished the year on injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL.
