\u2014 NFL (@NFL) June 23, 2026<\/a>Panthers\u2019 QB Bryce Young makes his debut on the NFL Top 100<\/p>\n Now he\u2019s a member of the NFL Top 100 for the first time in his brief career, <\/a>positioned at No. 98. Young comes off his best season to date, hitting on 63.6 percent of his passes for 3,011 yards and 23 touchdowns (along with 15 turnovers) in 16 outings. <\/p>\n He has come a long way from his debut campaign in which he hit on just 59.8 percent of his throws for 2,877 yards, was sacked 62 times and finished with more turnover (16) than TD passes (11).<\/p>\n Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Add in the fact that then-new head coach Dave Canales benched him after a pair of forgettable outings the first two weeks of 2014 and his appearance on the list shows the progress he\u2019s made. So much so that Panthers\u2019 general manager Dan Morgan and the organization picked up his fifth-year option, although it remains to be seen if they are going to extend Young anytime soon.<\/p>\n Bryce Young has come a long way since his rookie year in 2023<\/p>\n Tmac and the T is for Touchdown<\/p>\n Tetairoa McMillan x #ProBowlVote<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: FOX pic.twitter.com\/fN5tchb342<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) November 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cCarolina won the NFC South crown,\u201d explained NFL.com\u2019s Grant Gordon, \u201ckeyed by a massive upset in the regular season against the Rams <\/a>before a heartbreaking three-point wild-card loss to L.A. In his second season under head coach Dave Canales, Young established career bests in passing yards, touchdowns, success percentage (44.2) and yards per game (188.2). <\/a>He’s also earning the respect of his NFL brethren, as exemplified by his NFL Top 100 debut.\u201d<\/p>\n So where does Young go from here? There\u2019s obviously still some work to be done on his game<\/a>. Consistency has been the issue for the 24-year-old signal-caller. His numbers in the second half of games dwarf those in the first half,<\/a> and he must do a better job of avoiding miscues in the first two quarters.<\/p>\n The Panthers haven\u2019t finished with a winning season since 2017, and haven\u2019t won a postseason contest since routing the Arizona Cardinals in the 2015 NFC Championship Game. All signs point to more improvement for Young, who is finally getting a little attention from his NFL brethren.<\/p>\n![\"Bryce](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/01kvv5ds28n5tkjdn7hq.jpg\" "\\"Bryce")
