Panthers quarterback Bryce Young off to strong start in 2026 season
Summary

Through two games in the 2026 NFL season, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has completed 46 of 73 passes for 648 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception. His touchdown total is tied for the league lead, and he ranks sixth in passer rating. Young's performance contrasts sharply with his earlier seasons, where consistent struggles overshadowed his occasional flashes of talent. He has shown particularly impressive deep passing ability and has benefitted from solid performances by his wide receivers, Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. The Panthers face the Browns and Lions in their next two games, which could further test Young's improved play.
