Drawing on Canales’ success in reviving Baker Mayfield’s career, there’s hope that the quarterback could rediscover his confidence in Charlotte. With an improved offensive system and better supporting cast, the talented player has the potential to return to his Heisman-winning form and reclaim the spotlight in the NFL.Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, did not have a spectacular rookie season. He averaged 179.8 passing yards per game with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over 16 games.
