Panthers QB Bryce Young, Giants OLB Brian Burns renew friendship in Germany

Panthers QB Bryce Young and Giants OLB Brian Burns embraced a few times this past weekend in Germany.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young got more than just his swagger back this past weekend.

His team’s Week 10 visit to Munich, Germany ended in glorious fashion—as the Panthers walked off on the New York Giants en route to a 20-17 victory. The overtime win saw Young deliver yet another encouraging performance—as he passed for 126 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions in a clean, confident and effective offering.

Young’s triumphant trip overseas also gave him the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend, New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns.

Burns, of course, spent the first five seasons of his NFL career in Carolina before being traded to New York this past spring. The last, 2023, was Young’s first—one in which the two evidently built a very strong bond.

Here’s a shot of Young and Burns meeting up in Munich prior to kickoff of Sunday’s matchup:

They also dapped up one last time before heading back their separate ways:

In addition to the sack, Burns ended the day against his former team and current buddy with a season-high nine combined tackles.
