Former University of Alabama quarterback and 2021 Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young was the Carolina Panthers’ starter for 16 of the club’s 17 games. In those 16 contests, Young connected on just 59.8 percent of his throws for 2,877 yards and 11 touchdowns, with 10 interceptions. Back in May, CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan put out a piece giving one reason for each of the 32 NFL teams to be optimistic following free agency and the NFL draft. Two months later, he has re-emphasized that same point in regards to the Panthers and why the team should be optimistic heading into 2025.
