Young struggled as a rookie, but it was because the Panthers did not have much around him. He still does not have an adequate offensive line, which has led to him getting sacked six times and having three interceptions. Young, a former Heisman Trophy winner in 2021 at the University of Alabama, did not have a touchdown pass versus the Los Angeles Chargers or New Orleans Saints.
