Bryce Young, after what was described as a rocky start to his NFL career, is now absolutely showing out, and it’s got his teammates talking. Following a huge win for the Carolina Panthers over the Philadelphia Eagles, Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard dropped some serious praise for Young, calling him a “one-of-one guy,” a “one-of-one player.”
Chuba Hubbard’s Bold Claim and Why It Matters
Hubbard didn’t mince words when he told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer that he’s been in Young’s corner since “Day 1.” He sees something special brewing, saying Young “can make plays that not everyone can make.” That’s the kind of confidence a QB needs from his guys. Hubbard highlighted Young’s growth, noting that “each year, he’s just gotten better,” which is exactly what you want to hear from a former No. 1 overall pick. What really stuck out was Hubbard’s take on Young’s demeanor: “He’s cool, calm, collected in all moments. So it brings confidence to the offense and we’re lucky to have him.” That kind of composure is gold for a quarterback, especially one who faced early skepticism. It tells you the huddle trusts him, and that translates directly to performance on the field.
The Numbers Are Getting Hard to Ignore
Hubbard’s words aren’t just talk, either. Young backed it all up in the 25-14 victory against the Eagles, slinging it for 281 yards and two touchdowns. That win pushed the Panthers to a 3-2 record on the season, a pretty solid start. Looking at the bigger picture, Young’s current year stats are impressive: he’s already racked up 1,549 yards, 11 touchdowns, and only two interceptions. To put that in perspective, he’s coming off a career season where he collected 3,011 yards and 23 touchdowns. What’s wild is that he’s currently on pace to shatter those previous career highs. Forget the “rocky start,” this guy is clearly finding his rhythm and proving exactly why he was taken first overall. He’s showing everyone he’s capable of being their franchise quarterback.
This hot start from Young, with those kinds of numbers and that kind of teammate endorsement, really changes the narrative around him. He’s not just showing flashes; he’s putting together a consistent, high-level performance that has the Panthers looking like a team to watch. If he keeps this pace, those career highs won’t just be shattered; they’ll be left in the dust. You gotta keep your eyes on Bryce Young because what he’s doing right now is special, and it could mean big things for the Panthers this season.
