Panthers draft pick gets sent packing by Lions just days into training camp

There were very few success stories regarding draft picks made by the Carolina Panthers under previous regimes before general manager Dan Morgan took charge. This bears more significance a little further down the pecking order, which always separates the contending teams from the also-rans.

Some selections that didn't work out in Carolina have carved out careers for themselves elsewhere. Others are finding it much harder, which also includes one unheralded Day 3 pick who was recently sent packing just a few short days into training camp elsewhere.

The Detroit Lions announced they had parted ways with veteran cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, who was taken by the Panthers in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
