We’re just days away from the Panthers 2023 season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, and to celebrate that, we’re taking a look at number 15 on the roster — WR Jonathan Mingo.
Mingo came to Carolina as the 39th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, following the selection of Bryce Young at number one overall. Mingo hails from Ole Miss, as the next man up from a group of similar big bodied, athletic wide receivers in DK Metcalf and AJ Brown. Mingo’s stats never screamed “NFL top talent” as he had 1758 yards and 12 TDs in 4 seasons in college, however as we’ve seen from the two mentioned above, college production isn’t the be all end all.
