Carolina Panthers owner lauds the process

After his early ownership stint didn't go according to plan, David Tepper has been moving a little differently this offseason. The billionaire is looking to right some serious wrongs and after landing the No. 1 overall selection, seemed pleased with how the entire process panned out according to Joe Person of The Athletic

"Tepper says Panthers were "true to the process" in selecting a QB, which wasn't always the case previously. "We're not messing around.""

Messing around is something the Panthers could be accused of plenty when Matt Rhule held absolute power. Thankfully, there's been more professionalism and purpose within the new hierarchy, which struck with conviction to move atop the draft in pursuit of finding a potential franchise signal-caller and settle on Bryce Young following an extensive few weeks of thorough assessments.
