Everything Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said about Bryce Young Tuesday

Young, who weighed in a smidge over 200 pounds at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, may have more issues with his frame than his height at the pro level. Fitterer was asked if his weight is a concern as far as durability and longevity.

“I think nutritionally, we can do some things to educate him. Get him in the weight room. You can see, when you really look at his lower body, his lower body has gotten bigger. He’s put on a lot of mass down there. Lot of times, quarterbacks don’t wanna lift upper body because you get bound up.

“But there’s some things—he’s gonna naturally put on size as he ages as well. Again, going back to Russ—I think he came out at maybe . . . might’ve been 206 pounds. He’s at 220 now. Guys just grow. That’s something he can control. That’s something we can help him with. We can’t control the height.”
