5 players the Carolina Panthers can’t lose to injury in 2020

Carolina Panthers: Player No. 4 – Tre Boston (S)

The Carolina Panthers brought in some youthful exuberance at the safety position in the NFL Draft. But they also tied down Tre Boston to a new deal after impressing considerably in 2019.

The player made the most out of a second chance with the organization. And he was subsequently rewarded with a three-year, $18 million deal with an $8 million signing bonus and a further $8 million guaranteed.

He will be tasked with shoring up the backend of the defense once again, But his responsibilities will also include guiding the likes of second-round pick Jeremy Chinn and fifth-rounder Kenny Robinson through their in-game transitions throughout their rookie year.

Both are expected to see the field consistently on a Panthers’ defense that made a concerted effort to go younger this offseason. It will be key for Boston to stay injury-free, as putting too much pressure on their first-year duo might have a detrimental impact on their long-term aspirations at the professional level.

Boston has stayed relatively healthy throughout his career. And the Panthers outlined their confidence in a player that seemed to thrive in the big moments last season.

The franchise is going to need all this and possibly more in 2020. Boston is one of the key components remaining on the roster. And this comes with its own pressure.
