Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has been named a 'guaranteed riser' for the 2025 season by NFL.com analyst Marc Ross. After returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 of the 2024 season, Young displayed remarkable growth, throwing for 2,104 yards, 15 touchdowns, and only six interceptions over the last ten games. His confidence surged as he led game-tying or winning drives in six of those games.

This offseason, the Panthers bolstered their roster by drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan with the eighth overall pick. Alongside veteran Adam Thielen and potential breakout candidate Xavier Legette, Young's supporting cast has never looked better. Additionally, the Panthers' rushing attack strengthened with the addition of Rico Dowdle, promising to enhance their offensive capabilities. With these improvements, Young's 2025 season is poised to be his best yet.
