CAR · QB · Age 25
Bryce Young's recent rushing volume, with a carry share as high as 34.6% in his last four games, sets him apart from most QBs and offers unique upside.
The QB position isn't modeled yet — no call.
Our own read · beta — not a trade price.
Carolina has signaled no extension talks will happen before the 2027 offseason, so 2026 functions as a contract-year audition and a weak season would reopen real questions about the position.
Carolina's offense remains fundamentally run-leaning under Dave Canales, and Young's own carry share has trended down, capping his rushing floor even as his passing role stays fully entrenched.
Young played 100% of offensive snaps across all of 2025 including a Wild Card start, and the QB2-4 depth (Pickett, King, Trask) poses no threat to his job security.
OC Brad Idzik has taken over play-calling from Canales for 2026 with a more aggressive approach Young has publicly welcomed, and their three-year rapport raises the odds the change translates to more efficient passing volume.
Young now throws to a deeper skill group led by Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, with Jonathon Brooks and Chuba Hubbard anchoring the run game and a Round 3 receiver (Chris Brazzell) added in the 2026 draft.
