Bryce Young Sees Great Potential In Panthers Rookie WR: Roll Call, May 28, 2025

It's been a challenging opening two seasons for former Alabama and current Carolina Pathers quarterback Bryce Young. Young is 6-22 as a starter but is looking forward to his third year and the second under Dave Canales, particularly after the franchise spent its first round draft pick on Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.
"Man, Tetairoa’s a stud," Young said on Tuesday. "You can see why he was a first-round pick. He’s got great hands, great feel for the game, and he’s picking up the offense fast. It’s only day one, but you can already tell he’s going to be a big part of what we do. Same with Jimmy Horn, Moose Muhammad—all these guys are hungry, and it’s fun to throw to them. We’re just scratching the surface, but the potential’s there for something special."
McMillan joins a wide receiver corp that includes Xavier Leggette and Adam Thielen. Leggette led the team in receptions last season with 49, while Thielen led in yards with 615 and touchdown receptions with five. The Panthers are hopeful that McMillan's addition will help elevate the offense in 2025.
