The Carolina Panthers plan to give Bryce Young a chance to be the team’s starter of the future after his recent improvements on the field.
Young figures into the team’s future plans as a franchise quarterback with the growth he has shown during his second stint of the season as a signal-caller.
The former first overall pick was benched after Week 2 in favor of 37-year-old Andy Dalton.
After an injury to Dalton, Young was reinserted as a starter and has gone 2-2.
The Panthers have enough confidence in Young that the team has no plans to draft a quarterback in the upper rounds in 2025. according to the NFL Network.
What a change it is for Young, who was thought to have been left behind after being benched in September.

Young’s first season as the Panthers’ quarterback did not go as planned, with a 2-15 record inspiring little confidence.
Heading into Week 13, Carolina has already improved that mark to 3-8.
