4 reasons the Carolina Panthers can push for NFC South title in 2022

Carolina Panthers have young stars capable of making huge leaps
This time of year is always about what players the Carolina Panthers bring in. However, it’s also worth remembering just how much young talent this roster has that could make some substantial strides in 2022.
For all the questionable moves at quarterback and some suspect free-agent signings, it’s also worth noting that the Panthers have put together two solid drafts in recent years. Carolina will be counting on these individuals to make even more of an impression next time around – which would obviously help their divisional title ambitions along the way.
Players like Jeremy Chinn, Brian Burns, Yetur Gross-Matos, Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, Terrace Marshall Jr., and Brady Christensen could become important contributors next season. Others also under the radar include Daviyon Nixon, Keith Taylor Jr., and Tommy Tremble, who might be able to emerge further up the depth chart.
It is a solid foundation from which to build. And considering the Panthers have just one draft pick in the top-100 as it stands, they will need these young bucks to stand up and make their presence felt.
Should the aforementioned names all take another leap collectively, then the sky is the limit. And make no mistake, no team will want to face the Panthers providing their quarterback and left tackle situations are resolved convincingly.
