The Carolina Panthers only took four safeties through to their 53-man roster. That was somewhat surprising, but it outlined the supreme faith in two young players who look set for important roles within Ejiro Evero's schematic concepts.
This bears more significance for surging rookie safety Lathan Ransom, whose hype is skyrocketing at the best possible time with Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the immediate horizon.
The Panthers thought they had a steal on their hands when Ransom was available at No. 122 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's built momentum quickly, establishing himself as a potential long-term piece of Carolina's plans.
