Bryce Young got offensive help he needed via Panthers' draft
Word from the camp of Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young during the third day of the 2024 NFL draft was "loving it.'' He should be. While new coach Dave Canales insisted this draft wasn't about surrounding the top pick of the 2023 draft with great players but, rather, building a great team for Young to "do his one-eleventh,'' Carolina's draft felt looked it was all about Young. The whole offseason has felt that way. It began with new general manager Dan Morgan spending $150 million on upgrading the middle of the offensive line with guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis. Thirty-five of Young's team-record 62 sacks last season came from the guard and center positions.
It continued with a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who, over the past two seasons, had an NFL-best 94 open score, an ESPN analytic that defines the likelihood a receiver would complete a catch if targeted. No Carolina receiver ranked in the top 40 during that span. Carolina also made upgrades on defense with third-round pick Trevin Wallace at inside linebacker. Bottom line: The roster around Young is more complete than it was this time last year after Carolina sent two first-round picks and former first-round receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears to move up from No. 9 to select the quarterback No. 1 overall.

Panthers agree to deal with veteran RB Rashaad Penny
The Carolina Panthers' backfield is getting crowded. The team agreed to a contract with former first-round pick Rashaad Penny, reuniting him with head coach Dave Canales from their days with the Seattle Seahawks. Terms were not disclosed. Penny joins 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear in Carolina's backfield.
Penny is very familiar with Canales' system, which features the run and versatility. He had his best season with the Seahawks in 2021 when Canales was the passing game coordinator and new Carolina offensive coordinator Brad Idzik was an offensive assistant. He rushed 119 times for 749 yards and six touchdowns.
Penny, 28, played last season for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he appeared in just three games and rushed 11 times for 33 yards. Selected by the Seahawks in the first round (27th overall) of the 2018 draft, he has rushed for 1,951 yards and 13 touchdowns in six seasons.
