5 Panthers players whose stock rose at mandatory minicamp in 2021
By Dean Jones
Which Carolina Panthers players saw their stock rise during mandatory minicamp?
Mandatory minicamp represented the final chance for the Carolina Panthers to put in some work together before the start of training camp. The intensity and effort were reportedly higher than voluntary OTAs, which is to be expected, and the coaching staff now has a far better indication of what they can expect from their options during the upcoming campaign.
This is a hugely important time for the Panthers, who are quietly fancied to make some significant improvements in 2021 if everything clicks into place right away.
There is far more chance of this happening with a more structured offseason program to work with. Preseason games won’t hurt their potential to hit the ground running either, so picking up some early victories is a distinct possibility with favorable games on the schedule.
It’s vital for Carolina to start the season well.
The last thing they’ll want is to be left playing catch-up in pursuit of a surprise playoff place. How hard they work in the coming weeks will ultimately determine whether they can kick off the campaign in a positive fashion.
The jostling for positions on the depth chart is already evident. Even the slightest thing can alter perceptions on a specific player at this stage of the offseason, with many turning in eye-catching performances this week before heading off to do their own thing before traveling to Spartanburg.
Without further ado, we picked out five Panthers players whose stock is on the rise after mandatory minicamp.
