Entering his age-35 season, Adam Thielen acknowledges that he is nearing the end of his NFL career, with the 2025 season potentially being his last. Despite this, he remains focused on delivering his best performance for the Carolina Panthers, where he has been a key target for quarterback Bryce Young. Thielen's stats have seen a decline, catching 48 passes for 615 yards in 2024 after a solid 1,014-yard season in 2023. With a new contract looming and rookie Tetairoa McMillan drafted as a potential future star, Thielen's role may shift, yet his reliability and chemistry with Young could keep him valuable.
