“Really Important for Me” – Panthers Rookie QB Bryce Young Heaps Praise on 33-Year-Old Two-Time Pro Bowl WR, Calling Him a ‘Safety Net’ Ahead of Their Clash vs. A Struggling Vikings Defense

The wide receiver Adam Theilen, who plays for the Carolina Panthers now, is a former teammate of their next opponent. This coming Sunday Night Football, the Panthers will be facing their WR’s earlier team, Minnesota Vikings. The 2x Pro Bowl was with the Vikings for about 10 years and is now going to face off against his earlier teammates.

As both the teams haven’t been able to break their streak of losing, they’re all pumped up to win this Sunday. The Panthers’ quarterback Bryce Young looks pretty excited about the upcoming match. The QB shared his experience with WR Theilen before the upcoming match.

Young applauded Theilen for his reliability

With the match approaching, no teammate wants to leave any stone unturned so they can help their team win. Meanwhile, the Second-team All-Pro, Theilen is feeling a bit weird as he’s planning to defeat the ones he used to play for once. After being released from the Vikings due to their salary-cap situation, the WR is now ready to give it his all to make his team win.

Moreover, even the QB of the team, Bryce Young, is relying on the WR for his full support. According to Young, the WR has proved to be reliable during his training years. The Maxwell Award winner, Young revealed that Theilen knows the game and he’s like a safety net for him while playing. Young said, “For me, as a young guy, having a safety net like that, where you know exactly where he’s gonna be, he understands the play … that’s really important for me.”

After suffering an ankle injury and staying off-field for about a week, the QB is back again. He returned to full participation recently, a sight that all fans were waiting to see. Their head coach, Frank Reich, was happy to announce the QB’s recovery report.
