"I think the discipline that Dave Canales is giving Bryce Young is really allowing the star to really develop." @DangeR Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: Russell Wilson credited Dave Canales with instilling the discipline behind Bryce Young's development in Carolina. Young, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick from Alabama, is in his fourth season with the Panthers.

Why it matters: Carolina followed its Week 4 win over Detroit with Young drawing top-five quarterback mention. Steady play at the position anchors the Panthers' roster build during the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: Young completed 304 of 478 passes for 3,011 yards with 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions across 16 games in 2025.

What to watch: Carolina continues the 2026 regular season with Young as starter.
