Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales praised quarterback Bryce Young at the NFL annual league meetings, emphasizing his capability in high-stakes situations. Unlike past seasons with 10 starting quarterbacks, Canales expressed optimism about Young's role in the team's future. Challenges remain around the receiver position, and while the Panthers considered trading for Seahawks' DK Metcalf, they ultimately focused on bolstering their defense. Canales stated confidence in Xavier Legette, the team's No. 32 draft pick, to emerge as a top-tier receiver this season, indicating a shift in the team's strategy.
"I think we've got that guy. I think it's Xavier Legette," Canales said of the No. 32 pick of the 2024 draft. "It's up to the coaching staff to develop him".
Canales admitted the team had conversations about trading for Seattle wide receiver DK Metcalf, a player he coached for four seasons while with the Seahawks.
