Bryce Young’s much-anticipated NFL debut was not without its challenges. The No. 1 overall pick completed 4 of 6 passes for 21 yards in three drives, but he was also sacked once and pressured several other times. The Panthers’ offensive line struggled to protect Young, which could be a major concern for the team heading into the regular season.

Young entered the NFL with questions about his durability, given his slender frame. He was also not known for his mobility in college, which could be a problem if he is constantly under pressure in the NFL. The Panthers’ offensive line gave up 51 sacks last season, which was the third-most in the league.
The Panthers have made some changes to their offensive line this offseason, but it is unclear if they will be enough to protect Young. The team signed guard Austin Corbett in free agency, but he is currently on the physically unable to perform list. The Panthers also drafted tackle Ikem Ekwonu with the sixth overall pick, but he is still a rookie.

The Panthers will need their offensive line to play better if they want Young to be successful. The team has a talented offense with Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, and Robby Anderson, but it will all be for naught if Young is constantly under pressure.
The Panthers have a few weeks to get their offensive line in order before the regular season starts. If they can’t protect Young, it could be a long season for the team.
