5 young Panthers players to keep a close eye on at training camp

Which young Carolina Panthers players should be monitored closely when the team returns to Wofford College in Spartanburg for 2021 training camp?

Excitement is building as the Carolina Panthers get ready for their 2021 training camp, which will make its eagerly-anticipated return to Wofford College after a year away due to COVID-19.

There will be some restrictions in place for those in attendance. But fans will still get the opportunity to see Matt Rhule’s new-look roster first hand before they get the regular season underway in front of a packed Bank of America Stadium in Week 1.

There are so many fascinating traits to examine where the Panthers are concerned next season. They have a new quarterback looking to bounce back after a torrid three years with the New York Jets in Sam Darnold, which represents a feast or famine move by the organization that could go either way.

A number of young players will also be shouldering some substantial responsibilities once again. Carolina appears ready to rely on their youth movement making the necessary strides in 2021, which might just see them emerge as potential playoff hopefuls with a strong start.

Lofty expectations to aim for.

Getting off on the right foot at training camp is going to be crucial. Here are five young players worth monitoring closely during the preparation period ahead of Week 1.
