NFL fandom knows no bounds, even when it comes to friends and family.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young learned that lesson during the 2024 season, and detailed his surreal experience at this past weekend’s Fanatics Fest. While sharing a panel with fellow passers Peyton and Eli Manning, CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams, Young told the tale of when he played against his family’s beloved Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14 . . .

Young, who was born in nearby Wynnewood, Pa., nearly marched his Panthers to an upset of the host Eagles back in December. In fact, had wide receiver Xavier Legette not dropped the would-be go-ahead 32-yard touchdown pass from Young in the final minute of the fourth quarter, then Carolina probably would’ve pulled off the most stunning result of the entire campaign.

Philly, however, held on for a tight 22-16 win—much to the delight of many of the Youngs on that day who were not named “Bryce.”
