New Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is in Charlotte. Here’s how you can meet him

The Carolina Panthers officially have a new quarterback, and there’s a chance for fans to meet him.

On Thursday night, the Panthers selected Alabama quarterback Bryce Young with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, in what many hope changes the direction of the franchise.

The Panthers are inviting fans to Bank of America Stadium on Friday to mingle with the star quarterback, take photos and even win autographs.

Fans are encouraged to gather at the stadium’s North Gate off Graham Street starting at 11:30 a.m. before Young arrives around noon. The Carolina Panthers social media accounts will provide updates about the event.
