When Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales first met Bryce Young he emphasized to the young quarterback that he doesn’t have to do it all. He told him he needs to be more reliant on his teammates. Carolina backed up that talk in the NFL draft by continuing to put more players around the 2023 No. 1 pick.

Carolina entered this year’s draft with no first-round pick after former GM Scott Fitterer traded away four picks last year to get Young, including what ended up being the No. 1 overall selection. Morgan managed to get one of those picks back — a second-rounder in 2025 — in one of the deals. “A year ago, I wasn’t on anybody’s board, but I never let that get to me,” Legette said. “I knew I had another year.”Brooks was the first running back off the board at No. 46. It was the second-longest wait for a running back to be selected in the NFL draft behind Bishop Sankey, who was taken No. 54 in 2014.“Every team that I have been on, we used all of our running backs at different points because it’s just such a violent position,” Canales said. “We look for those players who can handle that.
