Panthers rookie flying under the radar could embarrass draft critics in 2025

The Carolina Panthers' rookie class made a positive impression during their first offseason program in a professional environment. If they accomplish the same feat when intensity increases at training camp, one would expect them all to make a lasting contribution in 2025.

Some have higher expectations on their shoulders than others. But there is a growing sense around the media that the Panthers might have a couple of big surprises who could come from nowhere and make an impression.

That's the best-case scenario for head coach Dave Canales and his developmental staff. Some will take longer to find their feet, but there's a good chance Carolina's first-year contingent can flourish with a little extra refinement.
