With the 2023 NFL Draft officially in the rearview mirror, it is time to break it all down. After the dust settled, the Carolina Panthers had five players comprise their 2023 NFL Draft class. Now it is time to give a pro comparison for each of Carolina\u2019s selections.<\/p>\n
Just as the NFL Draft started at number one overall, so will we. The Panthers selected one of the most prolific signal callers in NCAA history when they sent their card to the podium with Bryce Young<\/a>\u2019s name on it.<\/p>\n There might not be a player that is harder to comp than Young. There is not an apple-to-apple player to match up with Young\u2019s blend of size, ability, and playing style. So here it goes, while Young\u2019s size puts him in line with players like Drew Brees, Doug Flutie, and Fran Tarkenton, he does not play the game like them.<\/p>\n The player that most resembles how Young plays the game is none other than Joe Burrow<\/a>.<\/p>\n Young and Burrow are both masters at manipulating the pocket, possess the ability to use their legs to threaten the line of scrimmage while finding open receivers, and don’t have the strongest of arms but make up for it with phenomenal touch and accuracy. Above all else though, they are born winners that teammates gravitate towards.<\/p>\n They also share the same fault. Both Young and Burrow believe in their abilities so much that they will keep a play alive long after the expiration date and leave themselves open to injury. The only difference is that Burrow is five inches taller and 20 pounds heavier.<\/p>\n bryce young tennessee thread: starting w\/ this one. already felt like he was QB1, but this level was something else. pic.twitter.com\/wPqglfUQP0<\/a><\/p>\n — Kyron Samuels (@kyronsamuels) October 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
