The Carolina Panthers may soon have another Bryce in their quarterback room.
According to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, the team worked out former Los Angeles Rams passer Bryce Perkins on Tuesday.
Buy Panthers TicketsPerkins, a Queen Creek, Ariz. native, split his collegiate career between three programs—at Arizona State University, Arizona Western College and the University of Virginia. Over his final two college campaigns—both as a Cavalier—he completed 545 of his 845 attempts (64.5 percent) for 6,218 yards, 47 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
That body of work in Charlottesville would help Perkins earn a few honors—including a Second-team All-ACC nod in 2019 and the Dudley Award, given to the Commonwealth of Virginia’s top NCAA player, in both seasons.
The 6-foot-3, 214-pounder then broke into the pros as an undrafted free agent with the Rams in 2020. He spent three years in Los Angeles, getting his first and only start in Week 12 of the 2022 campaign. He passed for 100 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in a 26-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
As of now, the Week 4status of starter Bryce Young, who is dealing with an ankle injury, remains unclear. The Panthers are also currently rostering backup Andy Dalton, who started in Sunday’s defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, and Jake Luton.
