Summary
The Panthers hit the reset button this offseason and brought in a new head coach and a new quarterback. Unfortunately for Bryce Young, they did this by trading away their two best (and only) playmakers on offense. Veterans Hayden Hurst, Adam Thielen, and DJ Chark will begin the season as Young’s top options, while Terrace Marshall and rookie Jonathan Mingo will continue to vie for looks. In the backfield will be free agent signee Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. That’s the offense. The defense, however, is one of the more talented units in the league and give this team a shot at winning a really bad NFC South division.
Overall Team Rank: 29th
