Panthers QB Bryce Young breaks out new look at Monday's OTAs

After a busy and exciting offseason, the Carolina Panthers are heading into the 2025 campaign with a new-look team. They also might be going in with a new-look quarterback—and we're not talking about a change at the position.

The Panthers returned to the practice field on Monday, for the fourth session of this year's team organized activities. And while we didn't hear from the coaches or players before or following the outing, we did come away with at least one interesting nugget from the afternoon—this photo of a fully-bearded quarterback Bryce Young:

This isn't the first time Young has broke out a different look during an installment of OTAs. He showed up last May with quite a bit more muscle than he had in his rookie season.

Here's a side-by-side of Young in his final game of 2023 and at OTAs last spring:

But is the beard, like the bulk, here to stay? Perhaps we'll find out tomorrow . . .
