David Tepper Defends Panthers' Choice of Bryce Young, Dismisses Critics

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper stated that the decision to draft Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud in the 2023 NFL Draft was a unanimous choice among coaches and scouts. Tepper emphasized that he supports the decisions made by the football personnel and reserves the right to veto any choice. However, there are questions about the legitimacy of the unanimous preference for Young, as some believe he may not meet the typical physical requirements for an NFL quarterback. Tepper's admission of his ability to directly meddle in decisions raises concerns about the influence he wields within the organization.
