When the Carolina Panthers traded up to No. 1 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, many believed it was to select Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. But former player Thomas Davis told NFL Total Access that he believes Carolina will not draft Bryce Young or CJ Stroud, but select Florida QB Anthony Richardson with the No. 1 overall pick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis had an interesting take on his former team\u2019s plans after trading for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Davis praised Bryce Young\u2019s ability under center but believes that the Panthers will go in a different direction with the No. 1 pick. Instead, the former Panthers\u2019 linebacker believes that the front office has \u2018fallen in love\u2019 with another player at the top of the 2023 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

That player is none other than NFL Combine standout Anthony Richardson. The former Florida Gators\u2019 quarterback ran a 4.43-second 40-yard-dash and set a record for quarterbacks with a 40 1\/2-inch vertical jump and tied the record for broad jump as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a very, very surprising pick in Carolina,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI just know that there a couple of guys upstairs that are enamored by the physical ability of Anthony Richardson.\u201d<\/p>\n
