Could Tahir Whitehead’s disappointing start to the 2020 season force the Carolina Panthers to bring in some extra competition?

It hasn’t been the easiest start to life with the Carolina Panthers for Tahir Whitehead. The linebacker was given the daunting task of filling the void left by legendary figure Luke Kuechly after his shock retirement following the 2019 campaign and the jury is still out as to whether he is up to the challenge.

Whitehead has been one of the real disappointments on a Carolina Panthers’ defense that has shown steady improvement with each passing game.
