3 under-the-radar Carolina Panthers staking strong claims at 2024 camp

One-week wonders make headlines after a few highlight plays at practice go viral. Underperformers from 2023 wish to silence their critics. Players wear pads for the first time with a new team and want to make their mark.

This is a short list of the archetypes you can find at training camp. This time of year nobody is safe. With each day comes a battle- an opportunity to earn the trust of your coach. Buzzworthy or not, the actions of the offseason yield the victories to come.

With this in mind, here are three under-the-radar Carolina Panthers players who are staking strong claims at training camp.

Nick Scott - Carolina Panthers S

The Carolina Panthers were unable to cope with injuries at the safety spot in 2023. The talent gap was significant and it became a priority for general manager Dan Morgan to add several high-flyers.

History has since repeated itself. Sam Franklin Jr. is out for the foreseeable future with a foot injury. Dave Canales, who deems the former Temple star irreplaceable, was quick to add Nick Scott to the list of Panthers' safeties who are up to the challenge.

Scott flew onto the scene in 2022. The former seventh-round pick struggled to earn snaps for the first three years of his career but surprised everyone when he made many key plays that resulted in a Los Angeles Rams victory in the Super Bowl.

In the NFL, adversity can be quick to strike. If performance is not up to par, then replacements quickly emerge. After signing with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023, the high-climbing Scott was sidelined for rookie Jordan Battle - who defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo deemed the superior tackler.

Reuniting with Ejiro Evero seems to be having the desired effect so far. The Panthers will be hoping this is a trend that continues over their remaining camp practices and preseason games heading into Week 1 at the New Orleans Saints.
