Bryce Young was the No.1 pick for the 2023 edition of the NFL draft. The Crimson Tide QB was exceptional in his collegiate career. The 21-year-old was also the recipient of the Heisman Trophy in 2022.

These achievements helped him become the most valued player this year, and the Carolina Panthers traded up to acquire him. The NFL is one of the most valuable sports leagues in the world. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that Bryce will earn a significant amount in his first year.

Bryce is a slightly less built QB by league standards. However, his exceptional ability on the ball covers it up. The QB is also proficient in both the running game as well as the passing game.

However, his greatest strength is the way he reads the game. The Panthers QB has great knowledge of the game and keeps turnovers to the minimum providing great efficiency on the ball. Bryce Young is apparently a class apart from the other QBs this year and will be instrumental for the Panthers in the coming season. He also is projected to bag one of the biggest NFL rookie contracts.

There’s an additional $26,976,000 signing bonus also involved in his contract as well. Accordingly, the Panthers QB will earn around $7,494,000 million in his first year as an NFL QB.

However, Bryce Young’s official salary is still a mystery, but it will be revealed soon when the Panthers will reveal his contract details.

The Carolina Panthers have drafted Bryce Young as their franchise QB for many years to come. However, it is still unsure if he will be in charge of the offense from day one itself.

It is believed that the young QB will fight for the starting place with veteran QB Andy Dalton. The Panthers have stated him as a backup for the next NFL season. However, he is still expected to start week one against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Heisman Trophy winner left as a Crimson Tide legend and will hope to do the same with the Panthers as well. His game has surprised many, and it will be a treat to watch him in the NFL.
