LeBron James Throws Support Behind Bryce Young, 'This Ain't On You!'

LeBron James is rallying behind Bryce Young ... telling the second-year quarterback to stay focused on his goals after losing his starting job with the Carolina Panthers.

King James -- a fellow No. 1 overall pick himself -- went to X to show support for the young signal-caller on Tuesday ... making sure his 53 million followers saw his encouraging message.

"Bryce Young hold ya head Young 🤴🏾!! Rooting for you and know this ain't on you! Continue to put the work in and it shall prevail! 🙏🏾👑"

The Bryce backers have been coming out in full force after Panthers coach Dave Canales confirmed the switch to veteran Andy Dalton for Week 3 ... with ex-NFLer Ryan Leaf also pointing the finger at the entire organization, not Young, for their lack of success on the field.

In an interview with TMZ Sports , Leaf ripped the team ... saying it's nothing but "chaos" in Charlotte, so Young really didn't have a fair shake.

LeBron is no stranger to huge expectations -- he was surrounded by them before even going pro -- but he's a rare exception of actually meeting AND exceeding them.

So for Young ... Bron would be a good guy to listen to.
