Brian Burns Perfectly Describes Bryce Young's Swagger

The Panthers' star pass rusher approves of his new quarterback.

Just about everyone on the Carolina Panthers roster has been asked about rookie quarterback Bryce Young at some point over the last month but no one gave a better answer than outside linebacker Brian Burns.

Following Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, Burns was asked about his first impressions of the first overall pick.

"I don't like him," Burns said jokingly. "I'm just playing. It's hard not to like that kid. He put quite a stamp on the locker room. He walks around with this kind of humble, but I know I'm the s*** type of swag. He knows he got it but he's humble with it. He's always happy."

In all seriousness, Burns sees a lot of potential in the first-year quarterback and has been impressed with how quickly he's picking up on things. 

"He's smart. This is a pretty complicated system that they're running, they're running a lot of different things. But he's smart. He's catching on quick, making great throws. He's not making a lot of mistakes. Overall, he just fits the culture that we're trying to have here in Carolina. Coming in my rookie year, I was looking up to guys like Luke [Keuchly], Shaq [Thompson], Christian [McCaffrey], Mario Addison, people like that. And that's kind of the mold that we got. It's no egos. It's all about getting better. It's all about working. He fits that mold to a T."
