The Carolina Panthers should have an eye on these players associated with the Reese’s Senior Bowl on Saturday…

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera initially stated he didn’t expect much change regarding his coaching staff following an impressive 11-5 season. However, just a few weeks later Rivera has replaced every coordinator and made some other adjustments as well. All by either choice or coaches leaving for opportunities elsewhere.

Interim general manager Marty Hurney has been granted a chance at orchestrating the 2018 NFL Draft for Carolina and should have his eye on a variety of positions. Both on offense and defense, the Panthers could use one or two immediate impact players but must also be focused on the future.

A number of vital team members are nearing retirement and Hurney should be building this team to sustain their recent success in addition to winning a Super Bowl with the Panthers core group already present on the roster.

While many top picks avoid the Reese’s Senior Bowl, some will be in action as scouts and coaches get the opportunity to begin evaluation of their potential future players in person and meet them individually, a number for the first time.

Potential players Carolina should have an eye on are listed here in no particular order.
