So, how is Bryce Young spending his unofficial summer break? By not really taking a break, of course!
The Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback and a handful of his teammates were grinding away this week over at Southern Methodist University. Here are some of the scenes down from Dallas—which also feature wide receivers DJ Chark, Terrace Marshall Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr. and Adam Thielen:

Young has received considerable praise from a number of his teammates this offseason—including Thielen, offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu, linebacker Brian Burns and cornerback Donte Jackson. The most recent review came from running back Miles Sanders, who said the following about the No. 1 overall pick:
“I look at him and he’s very sharp, and on it with everything. He’s there early, he leaves late,” he said on June 28th episode of The Rich Eisen Show. “His decision making is smart. He doesn’t force anything really. His pocket presence is what really stands out to me. So, again, the height doesn’t matter at all—I hope nobody’s worried about the height. But I like him, and we got a bright future ahead.”
Considering he’s hard at work with his teammates at the moment, that tracks.
