Wide receiver Adam Thielen is Bryce Young's favorite target for a reason.

And recently, Pro Football Focus highlighted a stat that proves exactly why.

Thielen leads the NFL in targets without a dropped pass, according to PFF. That is not too bad for a 33-year-old receiver believed to be in the golden years of his career.

Thielen has 70 targets with no drops -- impressive.

In the Panthers' 15-13 victory over the Houston Texans, Thielen played a critical role in keeping the game alive with a clutch fourth-down catch that set the Panthers up for a game-winning field goal.

On the year, Thielen has 581 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He is always a threat in the passing game.

With the Panthers attempting to build on new-found winning ways against the Indianapolis Colts, expect even more Thielen. The Panthers, and Young, are hooked to the feeling.
