ESPN NFL analyst predicts Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young will make biggest jump in 2025

Of course size is no guarantee of success - and both Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess were imposing physically but accomplished exactly nothing. But the point stands that if Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette can utilize that plus size while not screwing up everything else they should be a pretty solid tandem. We should also mention that neither of them is the best receiver on this team. Based on what we saw from Adam Thielen in Carolina's last six games, it would be silly to put anybody else in that WR1 role.

Bryce Young's comfort airing it out to Thielen was the team's greatest weapon last year - and they'll need that deep connection to continue in 2025. However, Young is going to have to get into a rhythem with McMillan, Legette and the team's other pass-catching options.

Their offensive line and their running back room are both strong, so If the Panthers can only get this WR room performing at a respectable level and maybe get literally anything from the tight ends this could be a very surprisingly explosive offense.
