Deonte Brown being inactive for the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 is further proof the offensive lineman should still be treated as a development project.

The Carolina Panthers decided not to activate Deonte Brown for their Week 1 contest against the New York Jets. Although disappointing to the team’s fanbase who were hoping to see him in action at some stage, it’s worth putting the bigger picture in mind regarding the offensive lineman.

Brown was drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft after being tabbed as a development project by the Panthers.
