NFL Mocks

● By Tarringo Basile-Vaughan
The Carolina Panthers are a team looking to build something. After a hard-fought win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, the team is feeling good, but still fighting to build an identity for the future. Although Bryce Young returned as the starter and played well, the Panthers still must decide if the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has a future in Carolina. Obviously, that will depend on whether he figures it out the rest of the season and finds both confidence and consistency in the role. The same can be said for the rest of the team who are hoping to build on their 23-22 win over the Saints. "I think building a culture and building an identity just doesn't happen overnight," Running back Chuba Hubbard said, via the team’s official website. "It's something that takes time; it doesn't just happen through the good or the bad. You kind of have to go through the ups and downs and see both sides of it to see who you truly are. "And you know, we still have a long way to go, but definitely feels good to, you know, see the bright side of it." With another high draft pick, is there brighter days to come for the Panthers moving forward?
