Twitter reacts to Bryce Young being drafted by Carolina Panthers
Former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is the first overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft and he will begin his professional career with the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers are an ideal landing spot for Young, as the team is in a weaker division and the front office just spent a better part of the offseason bringing in major talent. Wide receiver Adam Thielen and running back Miles Sanders will both be supporting Young as his rookie season gets underway.
Fans were quick to take to Twitter to share their reactions and opinions regarding Young, the pick and what this means for the team.
Here’s what they had to say.
Alabama has their first ever No. 1 overall pick
There have been many legends of the game that played on the fields of Bryant Denny Stadium. But none were 1st overall

The record breaker strikes again
Bryce Young is the 1st Alabama player selected No. 1 overall in the Common Draft Era (since 1967).
The only Alabama player selected No. 1 overall in the history of the NFL Draft was Harry Gilmer in 1948 (Washington). pic.twitter.com/Rr5nWzZ4uz

He is a football genius
The #Panthers have officially selected #Bama QB Bryce Young at No. 1. Their new franchise QB.
As one source said, "He's brilliant."

Among the greats he stands alone
Nick Saban's won 6 national titles at Alabama where he's coached 4 Heisman Trophy winners but Bryce Young becomes the first No. 1 overall pick in this run with the Crimson Tide.
