Former Penn State offensive lineman Brendan Mahon waited to hear his name called in the 2018 NFL draft for seven rounds and 256 picks. It never came.
But, against the odds, the Nittany Lions’ four-year starter is already making a name for himself after signing with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent.
According to a report from the Charlotte Observer’s Jourdan Rodrigue, Mahon is taking reps with both the first and second teams at left guard.. He’s been one of the biggest surprises of the Panthers’ training camp so far.
Granted, veteran Amini Silatolu is still getting most of those first-team reps, per Rodrigue.
