The 'No. 1 NFL Draft picks' quiz

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is entering the most important season of his young career in 2025. After an awful rookie year and a disastrous start to the 2024-25 season, he was benched for Andy Dalton and things looked bleak for Young in Charlotte. But after Dalton was injured in a car accident, Young took the starting role back and never gave it up, showing signs of progress following his four-week benching. 

In the Panthers final three games he threw seven touchdowns without an interception and leading the team to two overtime wins over the Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons to carry positive momentum into the offseason. 

With an emphasis on avoiding last year’s slow start, head coach Dave Canales said that Young and other starters will play in their preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. The Panthers took Young with the first-overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. With that being said, can you name every No. 1 NFL Draft pick in the Super Bowl Era?

Good luck!
