Last year, the Carolina Panthers hopped on the bandwagon for sitting starters during the preseason. QB Bryce Young played one series in total, and he looked rather brilliant in that series. Other than that, he sat. Obviously, that was a mistake.

On ESPN's "Unsportsmanlike" radio show, host Evan Cohen included Young in a list of players under the most pressure entering 2025.

In the final three games last season, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young threw for 612 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns. His passing-efficiency rating was 111.6. Before those games, Young’s career passing-efficiency rating was 73.6.
