No one’s talking about the Panthers’ true breakout star hiding in plain sight

All the hype has centered on No. 8 pick Tetairoa McMillan, veteran Pro Bowler Adam Thielen, and second-year pro Xavier Legette in the Carolina Panthers' wide receiver room this offseason. But there is another viable option that could be embarking on a genuine breakout campaign in 2025.

That, of course, is Jalen Coker.

Nothing much was expected of Coker last year. He was an undrafted free agent who spent some time on the practice squad to make way for waiver wire acquisitions initially. When the opportunity came to flourish on the 53-man roster, the wideout seized it with both hands.
