Carolina Panthers Release Jersey Numbers for 2023 Draft Picks

New Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will wear jersey No. 9, the team announced Tuesday morning. Fellow quarterback Matt Corral will switch from No. 9 to No. 2, a request that he submitted prior to the 2023 NFL Draft. Corral wore No. 2 at Ole Miss and during his high school career at Long Beach Polytechnic.

Last year, Corral had to pick a different number with wide receiver DJ Moore occupying his lifelong jersey number. Now, both Panthers quarterbacks will get the number they want.

OTHER PANTHERS ROOKIE NUMBERS

WR Jonathan Mingo - No. 15

LB DJ Johnson - No. 52

OL Chandler Zavala - No. 62

DB Jammie Robinson - No. 22

Do you read your posts? It’s akin to an obese person giving dietary advice.

See @Growl. I tried to tell you it wasn’t like Clausen/Cam.

 

 

 

 

Team website says he requested the change just prior to the draft.

Current Panthers quarterback Matt Corral will move from No. 9 to No. 2, a jersey number he requested prior to this year's draft”

As I predicted, when the writing was on the wall it was best for him to just get out of the way of the whole situation. Even if Young had planned to offer a whole bunch of money for it it wouldn’t have been a good look.

Would be cool of Bryce to offer to pay for whatever Corral would have needed to pay to switch numbers, as I'm sure there was some Corral jerseys in stock that he had to buy back.

Bryce probably already has made more money through his endorsements than Corral's entire rookie contract was worth, he's already signed deals with multiple big name brands, and that's before his rookie contract which in itself would be substantial.  

I know these guys aren't just throwing away money for no reason, but I think it would be a nice touch by Bryce and help him earn some immediate respect/leadership points in the locker room.  I doubt it was like with CMC where he'd have needed to spend millions to buy back the jerseys, probably a minimal amount that Bryce could easily afford right now and not even notice.

by all appearances it literally took him a month to make the jersey change, CJ stroud rumors flying hot and heavy. I have yet to see anything to suggest the request was immediate. 
 

if you’ve got a tidbit suggesting such I’ll gladly read it but until then the delay speaks volumes

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
