What happened: Bryce Young entered his fourth season after going No. 1 out of Alabama in 2023. He completed 304 of 478 passes for 3,011 yards across 16 games in 2025.

Why it matters: Early questions centered on size and arm strength after a 73.7 rookie passer rating. His 23 touchdowns against 11 interceptions in 2025 reset the baseline for Carolina's offense.

By the numbers: 2025: 304-of-478 for 3,011 yards, 23 TD, 11 INT in 16 games. Rookie passer rating: 73.7. Draft: 1st overall in 2023 out of Alabama.

What to watch: Carolina's 2026 regular-season slate will show whether that production carries forward.
