The general manager of Carolina explained that after the Alabama quarterback cut his pre-draft appointments. Panthers will have the 1st choice on April 27th.
“That was a decision he made alone,” Scott said at the team’s pre-draft news conference. “I just refer you to his reps and Bryce as to the why.”
