Carolina Panthers fans are going through it right now.
While all the other NFL teams are enjoying the offseason full of hope and high expectations of what this upcoming season might bring, the Panthers are having to once again battle with online trolls saying their quarterback is too short. Across the league, players are reporting back to their teams for training camp. Joe Burrow showed up in Cincinnati with a flashy new hairdo, which got a lot of attention online.
But not as much as this video of Bryce Young – the number one pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
To make a long story (and a long season) very short, Young had one of the worst statistical years of all time for someone drafted with the number one overall pick. He ranked 31st in the NFL in completion percentage, and he was sacked over 60 times. That many hits isn’t good for a kid that’s listed as 5-foot 10-inches and 204 pounds.
Young led the Panthers to a 2-15 season in 2023-24, and now hopes for somewhat of a fresh start in the new season. But before things even really get going, the former Alabama standout is once again fighting an uphill battle thanks to this video of him walking into the Panthers facility:
If you are fighting “he’s too short” accusations, you simply cannot show up to training camp looking like it’s your first day of school if you’re Bryce Young.
I know that might seem like a mean comment, but just wait and see what everyone else was saying in the social media comments. Obviously, most of them had to do with him looking like a little kid:
The backpack taking up his whole upper body is just an insane visual. https://t.co/XaywlHqj1p
