    On Thursday, he had what would have been a sack of Bryce Young and some strong reps in one-on-one drills with the Panthers offensive line.

    Idzik’s son, Brad, is in his first season as the Panthers offensive coordinator.

    Prior to practice, Idzik caught up with Quincy Enunwa, who is here working for the Jets.

    Idzik drafted Enunwa in the sixth round of the 2014 draft — the famed Idzik 12.
