Bryce Young, Panthers' coaching staff get big endorsement from 10-time Pro Bowl QB

Count former Seahawks QB and 10-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson as a believer in Bryce Young and the Panthers' coaching staff.

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper is increasingly influenced by the Seattle Seahawks' playing style, and this is evident in the personnel he has brought into the organization. The team's general manager, Dan Morgan, and head coach, Dave Canales, have worked closely with several ex-Seahawks, both in the front office and on the field. It's possible that Tepper would be interested in hearing from a 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback, Russell Wilson, about the current Panthers squad.

Wilson, who is now retired, has expressed his confidence in both Canales' coaching staff and starting quarterback, Bryce Young. In a recent interview, Wilson praised Young's performance so far, highlighting the quarterback's similar style to his own during his prime. Although Young is smaller in stature, his aggressive play and confidence make him a standout performer.

Young has already amassed 648 passing yards, placing him second in the league, and has thrown six touchdowns. These impressive numbers demonstrate that he's having one of his best four-year starts yet. Wilson also acknowledges Canales from their time together on the Seattle sidelines, as Wilson's peak performance occurred during Canales' tenure as the Seahawks' passing game coordinator in 2020.

The Panthers are currently tied for fourth in total offense (409.0 yards per game) and second in scoring (35.5 points per game). It's clear that Bryce Young and the coaching staff are making a significant impact on the team's success.
