Decent article I came across. Shows Bradberry's point of view of his role on the team what expectations he has set for himself. I believe he's a true hard worker, and I think he'll come to shape possibly by mid-season. He's got the physical traits, it just comes down to practicing and learning your role in the defense. Read if you must.

Bradberry says he's a different person with a different attitude.

"They've put a lot of weight on my shoulders," said Bradberry, whose team completed a three-day minicamp on Thursday. "There's a lot of veteran guys looking at me to make sure I get all the plays right when I get in the game."

...

"The key thing for me is to stay in the playbook and stay with the game plan," Bradberry said. "I'm trying to come out and show that I'm a starter every day."

So, I'm guessing, he just chose 24 because he was kinda hedging his bet (on himself that he'd play up to that kind of high level) and didn't want to see the other two sporting the number. 

I get that he's quiet and all, but it'd be nice if he let just a little bit of swag rub off on him...from somewhere. The greats are supremely confident.

He picked the number because he respects those that wore it, Champ, Revis, Norman et al.

Hes not making a statement or betting on anything, he's just paying homage.

I could care less about swag or personality, as long as he gets along with his teammates and communicates well on the field. Luke doesn't exactly have a lot of "swag", but he just makes plays game in and game out. Far too often, swag gets confused with leadership or talent.

Fug swag. Make plays dammit.

Has yet to play a down in an NFL game, but lacks swag...

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
