We’re 29 days away from the Carolina Panthers 2021 season opener, so today’s countdown piece is devoted to No. 29 on the roster — cornerback Rashaan Melvin.
Melvin is 31 years old, and entering his ninth NFL season. Last year, he was on the Jacksonville Jaguars roster, but opted out of the season due to COVID-19. Prior to that, Rashaan has been an NFL journeyman. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after going undrafted in 2013, and had jumped to a different team every year since except for a two year stint with the Indianapolis Colts in 2016 and 2017.
