Breaking down the career earnings of Panthers QB Bryce Young

Bryce Young is a Heisman Trophy winner, a former No. 1 overall pick, and a starting quarterback for an NFL franchise. Needless to say, he's a prevalent face among football circles.

Young experienced his fair share of valleys and peaks throughout the first couple years of his NFL career, but he's remained even-keeled — and marketable. As he looks to return the Panthers to league-wide relevance, Young has remained in the public eye through his partnerships, endorsements and community involvement.

With a larger payday still a ways away, here is a look at what he's earned during the early stages of his career.
