TE visit leaves impression on Carolina Panthers
There was a real sense of intrigue when Darnell Washington revealed on his Instagram that he was visiting the Carolina Panthers yesterday. And according to Darin Gantt, the tight end's imposing size left a notable impression on the team reporter that is unlikely to have gone unnoticed by those in power.
"After seeing him in the hallway, he's one of those cats who is just larger than he looks on TV. And he already looked doorframe big."

Washington could be an exceptional difference-maker once everything clicks together. Whether the Panthers can justify taking him at No. 39 overall if available is up for debate considering their needs at edge rusher and cornerback.
