Even though Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young did have some drawbacks as a prospect leading up to the 2023 NFL draft, his on-field intelligence really pushed him over the top for a lot of teams.

On the latest episode of the Scoop City podcast (starts at 30:10 mark), The Athletic's Dane Brugler said he was told by one NFL general manager that Young was "genius-level on the whiteboard" during the pre-draft process.
