Social media detectives reckon they know exactly why Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has been struggling this season following a certain image surfacing online.
Young’s start to the season has been nothing short of atrocious. The Panthers have decided to bench him after a pair of regrettable performances, with many now believing his career with the team is all but over.
Despite Carolina’s effort to surround him with top talent, the 2023 No. overall pick hasn’t shown any improvement from last season. And fans believe they know exactly why that is.
An X/Twitter exchange prompted suggestions of the player’s slump being caused by heartbreak as his ex-girlfriend was spotted with Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey at a recent Eagles game.
“Bruh wtf did Bryce’s girl leave him or something,” a user asked in reference to a clip of the QB’s lowlights.
“Ngl she actually did 😭 they caught her with Tyrese Maxey at the eagles game,” another user replied.
“Omg bruh 😭 We have to lift this young brother in prayer 😓,” another said, sharing a photo of said ex seated next to Maxey.

“that’s demonic diabolical work 😭,” someone commented.
“smh it all makes sense now. That brother was hurting. I take back all my hate 😂,” another joked.
“He about to hate the eagles for life now 😭,” someone else surmised.
Who Is Bryce Young’s EX?
The woman in question is Myra Gordon. She’s known to have dated Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders before she was with Bryce Young.
It now appears that she has moved on to Maxey.
