The Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos are poised for massive rebound years

#1) Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young could be the superstar that the new-look Carolina Panthers need

Remember when Cam Newton was the most exciting quarterback in the NFL? Those times are long in the past, but the Panthers may have just found his spiritual successor.

Thanks to a trade with the Chicago Bears, Bryce Young may very well be Carolina's savior. No other quarterback arguably has his winning mentality. Furthermore, in a division as weak as the NFC South, a decent offensive core is perhaps the only ingredient needed for the team's first division title since 2015 and playoff appearance since 2017.
