Bryce Young gets majority of first-team reps in first OTA practice

[NAS]

Veteran Andy Dalton got the first reps with the first-team offense in Monday’s OTA practice. Rookie Bryce Young ended up getting more of them.

Via Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com, the first overall pick in the draft got the majority of the snaps with the first-team offense during his first full-squad offseason practice.

It’s not unexpected. Coach Frank Reich recently said Young would end up getting more of the snaps with the first-team offense.

The situation points to Young likely being the Week One starter. At some point, the goal will be to get him ready. Which means that, at some point, he’ll need to get all of the first-team reps.

It’s a tough balance for a team. One one hand, the player must be prepared. On the other hand, other players might think the rookie is being given things he has not earned.

The reality is that Young earned the starting job when the Panthers made him the first overall pick in the draft. The job now becomes getting him ready to do that which the Panthers believe he can do; otherwise, they wouldn’t have picked him.

BY's press conference today.  His mindset is so impressive to me, it leaves no doubt he will do whatever it takes to be successful.

I know this is getting old but based on this thumbnail, did anybody even attempt to give Bryce a booster to stand on?

Apparently Young caught a mislabeled play on the practice script.  Good stuff.

Oh just give him all the snaps jfc.

[SmokinwithWilly]

Excellent. Good to see him coming in and getting right into it. It's feels so much better not relying on a T2G, Darnold or Baker.

Never understand why the media is only talking about height. It was never a question about height, but about weight.

Yeah, everyone knows he is going to play 100% of the snaps this year. No use wasting reps on QBs that will never see the field. lol
