  • Bryce Young officially introduced as a Carolina Panthers
    Apr 29 2023

    Yesterday afternoon, the Carolina Panthers held their introductory press conference at Bank of America Stadium for the first overall pick, Bryce Young. Some of the topics he addressed were earning the locker room's respect immediately, his relationship with the second overall player drafted, CJ Stroud, and whether or not he'll wearing the No. 9 in Carolina. One quarterback already wearing the No. 9 is Matt Corral who didn't seem too pleased on Thursday night during the draft.

    Also, the Panthers selected an edge rusher from Oregon, DJ Johnson with the 80th pick last night after a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Paul Ihander, brand manager and program director of 99.9 The Fan, and University of Oregon graduate backs up the prosecutor when it comes to the pick.

  • Trading in that sweet home Alabama for some sweet home Carolina
    Apr 29 2023

    Bryce Young was the number one guy for the Carolina Panthers with their first overall pick. In honor of Bryce's birthday year which is 2001, Chris and Dennis recap the Panthers' draft history in 2001 and what they went on to accomplish that season. Apparently, Panthers great Steve Smith is a Carolina Panthers expert. He called it when it came to the Panthers selecting Mingo Johnson in the second round of the draft last night. 

    Also, Culture State producer Graham Hill admits that even though he's grown up in the state of North Carolina his entire life, he's never taken an interest in the Panthers until now due to the off-season excitement.
