In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers once again own the number one overall pick, a little over a decade after selecting Cam Newton first overall in 2011. The team is expected to use this top pick on a quarterback, just as they did with Cam Newton following his impressive career at Auburn.
Deep Quarterback Class
The 2023 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent at the quarterback position, with as many as five quarterbacks rumored to be potentially picked within the top 10 this year. This deep quarterback class is headlined by Bryce Young of the Alabama Crimson Tide and CJ Stroud of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Cam Newton’s Expertise
As a former NFL MVP who also helped the Panthers reach the Super Bowl, Cam Newton has valuable experience and insight about the quarterback position, the Panthers organization, and the expectations that come with being a number one overall pick. He recently shared his thoughts on who Carolina should select with their top pick this year.
Impressive NFL Prospects
With a number of promising quarterbacks on the horizon, the Carolina Panthers have a difficult decision to make with their number one overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The success of their choice will likely depend on how well the chosen player can adapt to the NFL and thrive under the high expectations that come with being the top pick.
