Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young may not be able to control his height. But, by all early accounts, he can control the offense.
The latest testimony for Young’s standout spring came from running back Miles Sanders, who joined The Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday. Sanders said the 5-foot-10 rookie passer already has an impressive grasp of the unit.
“I look at him and he’s very sharp, and on it with everything. He’s there early, he leaves late,” he told Eisen. “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.”
Eisen also asked Sanders if there was an exact moment where he knew the No. 1 overall pick was the real deal. The fifth-year rusher then referenced a particular pass from practice that caught his attention.
“His pocket presence is amazing to me,” he added. “You think he’s gonna get sacked, you think he’s just lookin’, he’s lost in there. But no—he got his eyes downfield and his release is quick, too. He lets it go quick and it’s accurate.”
Well, we can add another amazed veteran to the Bryce Young Fan Club.
