A humorous video featuring Bryce Young is going insanely viral on social media.
He had an interview with Dave Stevens. For those unaware, he is the only legless athlete to play NCAA Football and Minor League Baseball. With over 40 years on TV, He has worked in television for over 40 years.

Young crouched next to Stevens along the sidelines at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. That is where things got interesting.
Bryce Young Suffers Cringe-Blunder at Hall of Fame Game
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is finding out the hard way that everything you say on a live microphone will be heavily scrutinized.
Specifically, a clip highlighted a hilariously uncomfortable slip of the tongue that left fans completely stunned. While the young signal-caller was simply trying to show humility, his choice of words unfortunately created an immediate internet sensation.
To show respect and match his eye level, the quarterback thoughtfully squatted down for the entire conversation. When asked about his long-term career aspirations and eventually joining NFL legends in Canton, the quarterback offered a standard cliché.
He told the reporter that he was just trying to take things day by day. “I’m definitely where my feet are right now,” the quarterback explained, completely forgetting his interviewer’s unique physical condition.
Young Has a Huge 2026 Season Ahead of Him
Bryce Young enjoyed a career year in 2025 by setting personal bests across all major passing categories. Despite the clear progression in his third season, his performance still lacked consistent elite efficiency, setting up a massive, high-stakes 2026 campaign.
Young started 16 games for the Panthers during the 2025 season. While he struggled with inconsistencies, he managed to post career-high numbers across the board.
The 2026 campaign is shaping up to be a true “prove-it” year for the former No. 1 overall pick. There is immense financial and professional pressure on Young moving forward. In April 2026, the Panthers officially exercised Young’s fifth-year contract option, securing his team control through 2027. He is certainly showing fire during training camp.
Though Young made strides by hitting a career-best 39 completions of 20+ yards in 2025, advanced metrics still view him with skepticism. Out of 42 qualifying quarterbacks over the last few years, Young ranks near the bottom in adjusted EPA per play and passing success rate.
Despite winning the NFC South with an 8-9 record last year, Carolina’s offense actually regressed to 27th in total yards. Bryce Young has to show off his talent this year.
