As the No. 1 pick and expected Panthers franchise quarterback, Bryce Young has a chance to be a player whom kids admire and idolize. However, he may not be there yet, as evidenced by one interaction with a young fan at training camp.
The Panthers social media account posted a video of Young signing a kid’s jersey at training camp on Saturday, and afterwards Young went to give the pen back to the kid and fist bump him. However, the kid instead took the pen and left Young hanging, leaving the rookie quarterback to fist bump himself in an awkward fashion.

Young is a legend in Alabama, having won a Heisman Trophy with the Crimson Tide and becoming the first player from Alabama to be drafted No. 1. Yet, he still needs to earn the trust of Panthers fans, even if expectations are high.
If Young plays like a No. 1 pick in Carolina, he will not be left hanging again.
