The Cleveland Browns are heading into uncharted territory. On Friday night, they'll play their preseason opener in Carolina against the Panthers. Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders will start. The Browns will be without Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has seen his fair share of ups and downs. Throughout his college and high school career, he was dominant, a record-setting QB who won the Heisman and got picked first overall. In the NFL, he experienced some historic struggles for a year and a half before turning it around.
