The No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft quarterbacked the Panthers to their most successful campaign since his selection. Carolina won the NFC South crown, keyed by a massive upset in the regular season against the Rams 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). He’s also earning the respect of his NFL brethren, as exemplified by his NFL Top 100 debut. 

NFL Pro Insight for Young: In the regular season, Young completed 25 of 53 passes for 306 yards and five touchdowns on extended dropbacks (4-plus seconds after the snap), translating to a completion percentage (47.2%) nearly 20 percentage points higher than his 27.6% rate over this first two seasons combined.
