Adam Thielen, a veteran wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers, is excited about the improvements he has seen in his quarterback, Bryce Young, during the offseason. Despite Young’s challenging rookie season in 2023, where he had 2,877 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, Thielen believes that one bad season does not define a player’s entire career.
Thielen mentioned that he has noticed a positive change in Young’s demeanor, confidence, and comfort level within the team. He emphasized the importance of urgency and how Young’s increased comfort in the system has impacted his performance on the field. With one year of NFL experience behind him and a full offseason to build chemistry with his teammates, Young is looking forward to training camp.
Thielen expressed his optimism for the upcoming season, highlighting the blank slate that each team has during the offseason. He acknowledged that all teams are hopeful and believe they have a chance to make it to the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Thielen emphasized the significance of the time spent together off the field, building relationships and camaraderie that can positively impact the team’s performance.
As the Panthers prepare for the new season, Thielen remains confident in the team’s potential and is looking forward to seeing how Young’s progress will translate on the field. With a renewed sense of urgency, confidence, and comfort, Young is poised to prove his critics wrong and showcase his talent in the upcoming NFL season.
