During his Heisman Trophy-winning days at Alabama, Bryce Young showed the ability to win games despite lacking elite athleticism or prototypical quarterback size. In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers made a big investment in that ability by trading up with the Chicago Bears to select Young with the No.
Immediately after the 2026 NFL Draft, the Panthers signed one of the top dual-threat college QBs as Bryce Young's new backup.
The narrative seems to be that Bryce Young has improved enough to potentially be the long-term answer in Carolina. Yet, he ranked QB28 in 2025, exactly where he ranked among fantasy passers in 2024. Do you expect Young to be more than a low-end QB2 this year (say between QB20–QB24)?
Almost as soon as the 2026 NFL Draft had ended, they were signing Georgia Tech QB Haynes King to an undrafted free agent contract. Yes, UDFAs generally have an uphill climb to make the actual roster.
The No. 2 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft says Bryce Young is the QB he's most looking forward to sacking.
The Carolina Panthers are ready to make some noise during the 2026 NFL Draft. Carolina looks primed to add more playmakers around Bryce Young before a crucial 2026 season. The Panthers just reunited with one veteran quarterback who should be the final piece of that position group.
The Panthers wanted to make their QB happy, but they missed the mark a little bit.
Prentice is now the second of Young's Alabama receivers to sign with the Panthers this offseason. He joins soon-to-be fifth-year veteran John Metchie III, who led the Crimson Tide with 96 receptions during Young's Heisman Trophy campaign in 2021.
Even though the Carolina Panthers don't seem inclined to give Bryce Young a long-term contract extension this offseason, head coach Dave Canales remains very optimistic about the future for the offense with the 24-year-old under center.
