New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams has a unique way to describe Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, as the two will meet on Sunday.

Young has thrown for 603 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. He has also proven to be effective on the ground, as he has recorded nine carries for 50 yards and a touchdown.

His versatility will be a challenge for a Patriots defense that is looking to get pressure on the quarterback. Williams has shown the ability to heat up the pocket early in his Patriots tenure with two sacks and nine pressures so far this season. However, he knows the defense is in for a test on Sunday.

“Jitterbug,” Williams responded when describing Young.

#Patriots DT Milton Williams called Panthers QB Bryce Young a “jitterbug.”

Added Young can make all the plays and all the throws.

The Patriots’ defense needs to be disciplined in keeping Young in the pocket and closing up potential running lanes. Young and company are riding a wave of momentum after their 30-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons last week.

To slow them down, the Patriots must get after the quarterback early and often.
