Panthers QB Bryce Young could match records of 2 NFL legends

If he continues his hot start to the 2026 season, Panthers QB Bryce Young can pass his way alongside a pair of NFL legend.

The Carolina Panthers' quarterback, Bryce Young, is on track to break records set by two of the NFL's greatest passers. According to Ted Nguyen and Joe Person at The Athletic, Young has started his fourth pro season with a remarkable streak of at least 280 passing yards and a touchdown in each of the Panthers' first four games. This puts him one game shy of breaking Drew Brees' record from 2013, and with six more games, he will tie Peyton Manning's impressive start to the 2013 season, where Manning accomplished the same feat for the Denver Broncos.

Young's performance has been exceptional in three of his four starts, showcasing his accuracy and aggressiveness despite facing significant pressure and a limited receiving corps. He recently put up 291 passing yards and a score in a game against Cleveland, even with a depleted offensive line. Next on Young's schedule is the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the seventh-most passing yards per game this season (238.8). Currently, Young averages 317.0 passing yards per game, putting him at the forefront of the league.
