The fact that Jefferson adapted to the league so quickly last year also speaks to why Chase could take the year off and still end up a top-five pick. After the Vikings took him 22nd overall to fill the void created by trading Stefon Diggs to the Bills, Jefferson stepped in with 88 receptions...

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Simon was undrafted last year, but stood out at BYU pro day last week.

The Panthers added a regular-season game with the Texans on Tuesday, as the league officially expanded the regular season to 17 games. The extra game for each team in the league is against a similarly placed opponent from the opposite conference, as the Texans finished third in the AFC South...

"I think overall I had a solid day," Fields said. "Of course, I think everybody knows my goal in that 40-yard dash was to at least be in the 4.3s. I'm kind of mad about that. But other than that, I thought I threw pretty well. I had a few missed throws, but that happens. Every throw is not going...

The Panthers had a head start on their research on Jones, coaching him all week leading up to the Senior Bowl in January. And with so much focus on quarterbacks (general manager Scott Fitterer has already hit the pro day workouts for Wilson and Lance, and will for Fields), the diligence they're...

Lest you think he got preferential treatment, the younger McGuire was the backup quarterback at Cedar Hill High School, a suburban Dallas powerhouse. (Of course, it wasn't always a powerhouse, as Cedar Hill hadn't won a playoff game until Joey McGuire took the job in 2003, but they'd go on to...

Farley also missed one season at Virginia Tech with a torn ACL, and played in just 23 college games. Last year, he was the first major college player to opt out of the season because of concerns about COVID-19, but the small amount of film teams have on him show a fluid and athletic corner, who...

That was far from certain going into last season, but the way he played in 2020 caught everyone's attention. The 6-foot-2, 214-pound Wilson completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 3,692 yards last year, with 33 touchdowns and just three interceptions. He only lost one game all season, to...

He opted out of the 2020 season, but had 109 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, five sacks, and four forced fumbles in 2019. He came to Penn State as a defensive end, but led the team in tackles both seasons after making the switch. Despite the limited body of work (just 26 games in two seasons)...

He's a solid two-down defender (at least), and knows that part of his role will be to help a young group of players on his side of the ball, drawing from his experience from six years with the Chargers (including one year with Thomas Davis). Perryman's got the easy manner of a guy used to...

Luvu explained that his brother took his own life, a shattering bit of news he was still processing, and which made his joining a new team more difficult to enjoy. "Yeah, it's hard talking about it now," he said. "Just knowing he's not going to be here is hard. At the end of the day, I want to...

Since the Panthers entered the offseason with just one starter under contract (center Matt Paradis), the line was a bit of a blank canvas. But after tagging right tackle Taylor Moton and bringing back Miller, the right side is back from last year, making it reasonable to suggest that left guard...

"It's great just knowing that the guy across from you is just as good as you," Smith said. "It brings a lot more fun to the game just knowing y'all are both out there and seeing things that he's going to do that's going to be mind-blowing. It just makes you want to go out there and do those same...

"I definitely was on a different level that week because I was so mad," Arnold said. "At the same time, I was so ready to prove everybody wrong and make an impact." After such a sudden shift in his professional arc, it's reasonable that it's taken a minute for it to dawn on Arnold the way it...

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added some defensive depth on Tuesday, signing linebacker Frankie Luvu. The 24-year-old Luvu was untendered by the Jets as a restricted free agent, setting him free into the market. He played 40 games over the last three years for the Jets (including four starts)...

The Panthers brought back a familiar face, as they continue to rebuild their offensive line. The team has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with right guard John Miller. Miller came here a year ago on another one-year deal, and started 14 games. He provided a stable right side of the line...

The Carolina Panthers and XENEX, the makers of the LightStrike Germ-Zapping Robot, have partnered to donate a LightStrike disinfection device to the Charlotte 49ers Athletic Department. The Panthers used LightStrike devices throughout the 2020 football season to disinfect rooms and areas...

The Panthers are hoping to help their third-down rush this year with the acquisition of Fox, who signed his free-agent deal last week, a rapid-fire courtship which was a new process for him. Fox laughed and called the opening hours of the free agency period "crazy," acknowledging that for a...

Samuel had 851 receiving yards and another 200 rushing in 2020, one of the four Panthers players to top 1,000 yards from scrimmage last year. Of course, that happened with running back Christian McCaffrey missing most of the year because of injuries, which forced them to spread the ball around...
