Dan Morgan raised a few eyebrows with his approach early in the 2025 NFL Draft. It's only training camp, but the Carolina Panthers' gamble already looks like it could be a masterstroke.
The Panthers desperately needed to fix their historically bad defense this offseason. Morgan spent lavish sums in free agency to enhance the trenches and find a difference-maker on the backend. That was positive, but fans and analysts were expecting the same trend to continue during the draft.
Morgan had a different plan. The Panthers spent the No. 8 overall selection on wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.
