After winning only two games during the 2023 NFL season, the Carolina Panthers are hoping for a bounce-back season during the 2024 campaign while getting the best out of second-year quarterback and former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young.

Although the Panthers need a lot of work in order to be able to compete with the best of the best teams in the league, the struggling franchise did make a solid move during the NFL offseason in order to get Young some help for the upcoming season.

Back in March, the Panthers made a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sending cornerback Donte Jackson to Mike Tomlin’s squad along with a pick to acquire talented young wide receiver Diontae Johnson.

As a result of the deal, Young now has a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver on the Panthers’ roster, which is a substantial change from last season, where the offense seemed to fall flat on a weekly basis.

Young and Johnson got some work on the field recently, which was caught by the cameras, with the two connecting and seemingly looking to be on the same page, via the NFL’s Twitter account.

In his fifth and final season with the Steelers, Johnson caught 51 passes for 717 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 13 games for Pittsburgh.

Although those aren’t eye-popping numbers, in the right situation, Johnson might be able to flourish and get his name back in the conversation for being one of the best wideouts in the game today while helping the Panthers turn things around.
