The Carolina Panthers are gearing up for a new season with high hopes for quarterback Bryce Young after a disappointing rookie year. With a revamped offensive line and the addition of wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the Panthers are looking to turn things around under new head coach Dave Canales.
Young expressed his excitement for the changes during the team’s first minicamp practice, highlighting the new energy and talent that has been brought in. The Panthers made a significant investment in Young last year, trading up to the No. 1 spot in the draft to select him after his standout college career at Alabama.
Despite a tough rookie season where Young struggled under pressure and faced criticism for his performance, the Panthers are optimistic about his potential. General manager Dan Morgan made key moves in free agency to bolster the offensive line and add playmakers to the passing game, including Johnson, who is expected to be a top target for Young.
Canales has been working closely with Young to improve his fundamentals and decision-making, emphasizing the importance of quick releases and teamwork. With a focus on communication and building chemistry within the team, the Panthers are hoping to see Young take a significant step forward in his development.
As the Panthers prepare for the upcoming season without a first-round pick in the draft, all eyes will be on Young and his ability to lead the team to success. With a renewed sense of optimism and a strong supporting cast around him, Young is determined to prove his critics wrong and establish himself as a franchise quarterback for Carolina.
