Ex-Panthers starter already looking like a home run signing on new team

Ejiro Evero has come in for criticism since joining the Carolina Panthers as defensive coordinator. One of his most glaring failures that irked fans was his decision to make Jeremy Chinn an afterthought.

The former second-round selection looked like a superstar after a rookie campaign for the ages. Chinn thrived at outside linebacker in 2020, displaying the instinctive ferocity that saw him become an instant fan favorite. Moving him back to the safety position saw his influence diminish slightly, and Evero didn't take long to make him a complete non-factor within his contentious 3-4 base scheme.
