Panthers Storylines to Watch
- Bryce Young’s Development: After a difficult rookie season, all eyes will be on 2023’s first overall pick to see if he can take a significant step forward in year two.
- New Offensive Weapons: The additions of Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette, and Jonathon Brooks should provide Young with more firepower. How quickly can they develop chemistry?
- Defensive Rebuild: With the departure of Brian Burns, how will the Panthers replace his production and leadership on defense?
- Dave Canales’ Impact: The new head coach brings an offensive background from his time with the Buccaneers and Seahawks. Can he revitalize a unit that ranked near the bottom of the league in 2023?
- International Showcase: The Panthers will play their first-ever regular season game outside North America when they face the Giants in Munich. This presents a unique opportunity to grow their global brand.
- NFC South Race: In a division that lacked a team with a winning record in 2023, can the Panthers take advantage and compete for their first division title since 2015?
As the Panthers enter their 30th NFL season, they’re hoping the investments made this offseason will help them improve upon their league-worst 2-15 record from 2023. With a young quarterback, new coaching staff, and revamped roster, Carolina is aiming to surprise the NFL in 2024.
