LeBron James Weighs In: Shocking Support for Benched Panthers QB Bryce Young!

No Number 1 overall pick in sports history has faced as much pressure as LeBron James, the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers. Dubbed the “Chosen One” straight out of high school, LeBron returned to his hometown team amid astronomical expectations—and he certainly delivered, embarking on a Hall of Fame career that’s now entering its 22nd season.

Now, LeBron can relate to other top picks feeling the heat, like Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, who was selected first overall in 2023. The Panthers traded a mountain of assets to acquire Young, but with limited support around him, the team has struggled, posting a dismal 2-16 record in his starts over the past two years. After two tough losses to start the 2024 season, Young was benched in favor of veteran Andy Dalton.

Many fans believe that benching Young is unjust, and LeBron is one of them. He took to social media to express his support for the young quarterback, reminding everyone of the challenges that come with such immense pressure.

As Young navigates this rough patch, it’s heartening to see someone of LeBron’s stature stand by him. Though his start hasn’t been ideal, there’s still plenty of time for Young to turn things around. Whether with the Panthers or a fresh start elsewhere, his talent is undeniable.
