Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is believed to be the Carolina Panthers' selection with the No. 1 overall pick in tonight's NFL draft, league sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The Panthers' preference to draft Young never wavered since they traded up with the Chicago Bears to get the top selection, and scouts had conviction early in the process that Young is the right quarterback to draft, Pelissero adds.
Young had been the starting quarterback at Alabama for the last two seasons and won the Heisman Trophy in 2021.
