Bryce Young has some fans over at 800 South Mint Street.

In the latest edition of his “Football Morning in America” column, NBC Sports’ Peter King runs down the buzz he’s currently hearing about the top four teams in the 2023 NFL draft order. For the Carolina Panthers, who are perceived to be falling for Ohio State University quarterback’s C.J. Stroud, he notes that Young still has the support of some key individuals within the building.

King writes:

The other thing I hear is several influential voices in the organization favor Young. That doesn’t mean Young will be the pick—not at all. This will be a collaborative choice, and the Panthers still have organizational meetings ahead to set their draft board with finality. But before he took the Carolina quarterback-coach job, Josh McCown reportedly told friends he loved Young. What that means after he’s studied all of the passers, I don’t know.
