Panthers: NFL Combine prospect performances
Dalton Schultz, TE
40-yard – 4.75, Bench Press – 15 reps, Vertical Jump – 32 inches, Broad Jump – 120 inches, 3-Cone – 7.00, 20-Shuttle – 4.40
Veteran tight end Greg Olsen is nearing retirement and after not being significantly injured since his rookie campaign, missed a majority of the season last year. While Ed Dickson exploded onto the scene, Carolina needs a replacement who can fill the starting role into the future.
Schultz may not have increased his stock with his Combine performance but his game film and ability to contribute on the field will be a welcome addition for the team that selects him in April. His evaluation could benefit the Panthers if he falls to a later round.
