Over the past five draft classes a handful of highly picked QBs have failed to become the answer that teams expected them to be. Here are three of them.

In the Super Bowl era (1966 to present) of the NFL, a total of 30 QBs have rushed for 100 yards or more in a regular-season game. How many of the 30 can you name in five minutes?
The Carolina Panthers’ passing attack was much-improved this past season due to the steady development of quarterback Bryce Young, the second-half emergence of former undrafted free agent Jalen Coker, and the NFL debut of former University of Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.
The NFL Draft always delivers many twists and turns that leave fans and analysts scratching their heads. This list isn't looking at hindsight and finding the biggest busts in history.

Bryce Young has been up and down during his tenure with the Carolina Panthers. PFF analysts Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick ranked him the 20th-best QB in the NFL, which is pretty fair, and noted that he's one of the NFL's biggest enigmas.

The offseason is essentially over now for the Carolina Panthers. They've made all the acquisitions they planned to ahead of this month's training camp.
In 2024, the Carolina Panthers fielded one of the worst defenses in the league in recent memory. They allowed the most total yards and most rushing yards in the NFL.
The Carolina Panthers' offseason is a success on paper. Carolina clearly sees a window to compete in the NFC South and become a consistent playoff team, and operated as such this offseason.
