Mortensen shared his prediction on "SportsCenter" just recently, and it's creating quite a buzz among fans. He also agreed with his colleague Adam Schefter, who drew comparisons to when the San Francisco 49ers traded up to the No. 3 spot in the draft two years ago. The 49ers initially traded up for Mac Jones but ultimately chose Trey Lance, a decision that hasn't quite panned out for them yet.
It seems like the Panthers are determined not to make the same mistake. Mortensen reported that the Panthers are absolutely smitten with Bryce Young and have their sights set on him as the potential top pick. With Young's impressive college career at Alabama and his undeniable talent, it's easy to see why the Panthers would be interested in securing him as their franchise quarterback.
Of course, until the actual draft takes place, nothing is set in stone, and there's always room for surprises. But for now, all eyes are on Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, as football fans eagerly await to see how this all unfolds on draft day.
