Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has gotten a stamp of approval from his head coach, from his owner and now, from the greatest player in his organization’s history.
Cam Newton, the franchise’s all-time leading passer, was apparently keeping tabs on his former team in Week 18. And if he kept tabs throughout the entirety of Sunday’s regular-season finale, he saw Young amass 275 total yards and five touchdowns in a resilient 44-38 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.
But whether or not he actually watched every play from Young’s career day, the former Most Valuable Player made sure to give props to his fellow No. 1 overall pick . . .
Young became the first quarterback in franchise history to record three touchdown passes and two touchdown runs in a single game. So, yeah, even Newton—the NFL’s all-time leader in career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback—never accomplished that feat over his decade in Carolina.
Oh, and Newton also showed love to the Panthers . . .
