The Carolina Panthers have seen their linebacking corps make improvements after defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero switched responsibilities with his starting duo. Now, the progressive play-caller will be forced to pivot again to compensate for a disappointing injury at the worst possible time.
Second-year general manager Dan Morgan saw something in Trevin Wallace that others didn't at No. 72 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. It was a slow burn, but placing the green dot responsibilities on the second-level presence took his game to entirely new heights.
This is a challenge Wallace relished. He has complete command of the schematic concepts, and his communication skills are much improved.
