Dave Canales, the new coach of the Carolina Panthers, is focused on getting last year's No. 1 pick, Bryce Young, on track. Canales prioritized Robert Hunt in free agency for toughness. He believes Young's growth as a QB is normal despite some pass protection issues. Canales emphasizes 'getting the football right' and wants a veteran as the No. 3 QB. He aims to compete for the division title and models coaching Young after Andy Reid.
