The Carolina Panthers are potentially a team on the rise in the NFL, with the struggling franchise seemingly ready to return to its winning ways after a few years of disappointment.

Along with bringing in Young, who may be the most NFL-ready quarterback in this draft class, the Panthers brass went all out in bringing in proven talent to potentially be a playoff team right away if Young turns out to be the real deal.

The Panthers also have the advantage of being in a division that is up for grabs with no clearcut favorite to win the AFC South division title, which bodes well for their chances of making the playoffs next season.
