Luke Kuechly, the former Carolina Panthers linebacker, remains an ardent supporter of his former team, particularly as he witnesses Bryce Young's resurgence this season. After enduring a dismal 1-7 start, Young's return in the lineup has been pivotal, culminating in a stronger 4-5 finish, highlighted by a 44-point overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons.

Kuechly expressed astonishment at Young's transformation, noting that since his return, he has exhibited a renewed vigor reminiscent of his time at Alabama. The former linebacker credited Young's resilience and the positive contributions from teammates like Andy Dalton and offensive coordinator Dave Canales, acknowledging their roles in the young quarterback's journey back to form.
