NFL Rumors: Carolina Panthers Have Their Eye On Particular QB In The 2023 NFL Draft

The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL world six weeks out from the 2023 NFL Draft when they traded up to No. 1 overall with the Chicago Bears, signalling that their intent is to get a young Quarterback to lead them into the future.

After going up all that way and then signalling that they are opening to trading back, it's clear that they have more than one option they like at the QB position, but now it has been reported that their eyes are firmly fixed on one name: Ohio State's C.J. Stroud.

Update: The "sense around the league" is that the #Panthers will be drafting Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud, according to league insiders.

With names like Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson and Will Levis also in the draft, the decision will need to be made with 100% confidence, but with every young QB bringing something different to the table, it's purely up to preference for Carolina.
