The Carolina Panthers may have not been on the brightest stage in football, but a few old friends were.

Here’s how former Panthers players fared in Super Bowl LVIII:

So, let’s finish it out and run through each team’s leader in receiving yards from the 2023 regular season.

Oh, wait . . . our apologies . . .

Despite going into the 2023 campaign with a new “all-star” coaching staff and the No. 1 overall pick, the Carolina Panthers had one of the most difficult years in franchise history. So, will it get any easier in 2024?

Every HC in Carolina Panthers franchise history

Dave Canales is now the seventh full-time HC in Carolina Panthers history.

A new era of Carolina Panthers football is about to begin.

New Panthers HC Dave Canales has helped three different QBs to career campaigns.

On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers officially hired Dave Canales as their new head coach. And as their new head coach, his greatest task will be getting the most out of soon-to-be second-year quarterback Bryce Young.

Whether he was a quarterbacks coach, a passing game coordinator or an offensive coordinator, here’s what Canales helped produce from his team’s starters in the past six seasons:

Dave Canales will be entering his first NFL head-coaching gig with the Carolina Panthers as a bit of an unknown. While he does have 14 years of experience under former Seattle Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll, the 42-year-old has just one season of play-calling under his belt.

So, how did that go?
