Bryce Young’s 2025 stats
Young appeared and started in 16 regular-season games. He completed 304-of-478 passes for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The 24-year-old led Carolina to first place in the NFC South with an 8-9 record but lost in the Wild-Card Round to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Panthers added key veterans in free agency, including Kenny Pickett for quarterback depth. Young will have a chance to surpass his 2025 performances and prove that he is the franchise’s long-term solution at the position.
