The Carolina Panthers are going to be a new-look team in 2023 after overhauling their coaching staff and taking QB Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. On the defensive side of the ball, OLB Brian Burns continues to develop into one of the league’s premier edge rushers for the Panthers.
There aren’t lofty expectations for the Panthers in 2023 as they are tied for the 4th-worst odds to win the Super Bowl (+8000). Meanwhile, they have the 3rd-worst odds to win the NFC (+3300) and have the 2nd-worst odds to secure the NFC South crown (+375).
We’ve seen defensive players on middling teams win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award before. So, even with Carolina expected to be a below-average team this season, Burns is a fantastic value for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award (+2000) in 2023.
