The Carolina Panthers didn’t get much fanfare out of their rookie class in Week 1, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t promise.
With the spotlight centered on the team’s offensive struggles, one name slipped past the headlines: third-round edge rusher Princely Umanmielen.
The Ole Miss product saw just 12 percent of the defensive snaps. This was far fewer than veterans D.J. Wonnum and Patrick Jones II, who handled the bulk of the workload. Fellow rookie Nic Scourton played slightly more at 27%, while safety Lathan Ransom rotated in for 14%.
Snap counts don’t always tell the full story.
