You can add Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles to the list of Bryce Young believers. Oh, and when you do, make sure he’s somewhere towards the top.
Bowles spoke with reporters on Friday, his final chat ahead of the Week 18 matchup between his playoff-hopeful Bucs and the 2-14 Carolina Panthers. He had this, via Bucs Wire editor River Wells, to say about the rookie quarterback he’ll be facing off against this weekend:
Todd Bowles says that Panthers QB Bryce Young will be “one of the best to ever do it” by the time his career is over. Says he’s very impressed with his poise and his ability as a scrambler

Sunday will mark the second time Bowles and the Bucs match up with Young. The first clash came in Week 13, when the No. 1 overall pick nearly led a fourth-quarter comeback in an eventual 21-18 Tampa Bay win.
Young wasn’t exactly at his best in what was a muddy outing. He completed 15 of his 31 throws for 178 yards and a game-sealing interception to safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
But Bowles, who’s been coaching up NFL defenses for over two decades, apparently saw more than just the numbers back on Dec. 3.
