Now in Year 4, QB Bryce Young taking on a more vocal leadership role with the Panthers
Coach Dave Canales said Young’s growing command has helped him demand sharper execution from Panthers pass catchers.
- On Tuesday, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young erupted at OTAs in Charlotte after receivers dropped several wet footballs following a heavy rainstorm, shouting, 'It isn't raining anymore,' to hold them accountable.
- Young's vocal correction reflects his journey back to leadership after being benched early in 2024; he regained the starting role and led the Panthers to an 8-8 record and NFC South title last season before losing to Los Angeles in the wild-card game.
- Coach Dave Canales heard Young's passionate response and praised his 'total command' of the offensive system, saying, 'He knows what he's looking for, and the timing of things,' while noting Young used language 'a little more colorful' than his quoted words.
- Rather than resenting the rebuke, wide receiver Jalen Coker embraced Young's standards, saying the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama was 'just challenging us because he knows what he expects of us,' and emphasized, 'We rally behind him.'
- Young's willingness to correct teammates publicly signals his evolution into a more demanding leader entering Year 4, with Canales noting how the quarterback's ownership translates into directing specific assignments for tight ends, wideouts and backs as the Panthers prepare for the season.
