UNBELIEVABLE: Bryce young had classy message for critics after leading panthers to playoffs | History Defined

The 2025 season was a great one for Bryce Young. Facing huge expectations after a slow start to his career following his first overall selection in the 2023 NFL draft, Young put up career-best numbers across the board. He threw for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while completing 63.6% of his passes. It was a tremendous season of growth for the young quarterback and, most importantly, it resulted in his first career playoff appearance.

There’s no denying it was a very successful year in Carolina and served as a strong response to the harsh criticism surrounding Young’s game. Speaking to Sports Illustrated on Radio Row at Super Bowl LX on behalf of Bounty, Young was asked if he had a response to anybody who might have written him or the Panthers off in the early goings of the year. The young signal-caller offered a classy message in response.
