The Carolina Panthers have a collection of rookies on defense who could all earn significant playing time on a shallow roster. The Panthers are widely known for having one of the worst defenses in NFL history in 2024. A few free agency signings and the return of a healthy Derrick Brown are unlikely to turn the Panthers into an over night success story. That leaves the door wide open for any of Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Lathan Ransom, and Cam Jackson to make a big, early impact.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, most Panthers fans think that the Panthers second pick in the 2025 NFL draft will have the biggest impact on the team this season.
