Bryce Young has entered the NFL with major expectations. A winner winner of the Heisman Trophy in Alabama, he was selected n ° 1 in total in 2023 by the Panthers of Caroline according to her launch precision and his calm behavior in the pocket.
But his first two seasons were anything but smooth.
As a recruit, Young launched for 2,877 yards and 11 affected but 10 interceptions and displayed a file of 2-15. He was also dismissed 62 times, the second largest number of the NFL. The poor performance of the team led to head coach Frank Reich drew 11 games in the season.
After launching three choices and zero scores in the first two weeks of the 2024 season, he was a bench for Andy Dalton, a veteran who continued to start for the next six games but was sidelined after a car accident resulted in a thumb injury.
Young, 24, intervened for Dalton before the match of week 8 with the Broncos de Denver and never abandoned the role, showing major signs of promise the rest of the path. This led his teammates and his analysts to believe that he always has what it takes to direct a franchise from the NFL.
“Many large quarters have been stuck,” said Chris Simms of NBC Said “Chris Simms Unbuttoned.” “A part of being a quarter of the NFL is to be overthrown and go up the ass and do it”
Young did that and more. During his last 10 games in 2024, he launched for 2,104 yards and 15 affected, with only six interceptions, for a score note of 88.9. Carolina only won four of these clashes, but her offensive statistics have been increasing in all time.
Young ended the season on a high note, spending 25 for 34 passing for 251 yards, three affected and no interception during a prolongation victory against the Falcons of Atlanta.
“You have seen a completely different guy,” said Simms about Young’s game in the section, noting its improvement in decision -making and pocket presence. “You have seen the right steps to be excited for Bryce Young to spend the year 3.”
This level of play also drew the attention of the panthers, Ja’tavion Sanders.
“Everyone sees the change definitively,” Sanders told NBC News. “One thing I learned from Bryce is not to become too high with the ups or the stockings with the stockings. Attacking the day in the same way every day. ”
Sanders added that Young’s competitiveness was obvious in the training camp this summer and that he has shown leadership.
“The way he is doing as a person out of the field – not even speaking of football here – out of the field, how he is doing as a person, as a man. The energy he brings when he enters the room.”
This energy probably increased after the draft of the NFL 2025. The tonts strengthened their offense by selecting the wide receiver of Arizona, Tetairoa McMillan in n ° 8 in total. The 6-foot McMillan 4 inches at the height, the speed and the capture capacity to provide young people with another reliable weapon in the offense to accompany the veteran receiver (and the old All-Pro) Adam Thielen and the choice of first round in 2024 Xavier Legette.
The team has also strengthened its defense by giving the Cornerback Jaycee Horn a contract extension of $ 100 million over four years and by signing the security Tre’ Von Moehrig of the Raiders of Las Vegas.
The Panthers finished third in the NFC South and the fourth the previous year. They hope that another step will be taken in 2025, which depends largely on young people.
“I am super confident. It comes from this building,” said Young during a press conference During the training camp. “Based on coaches staff and the team around me is really from there that I have my confidence. I am grateful to be part of the organization. ”
