Carolina Panthers rookies to watch in their first preseason game Thursday night against New England Patriots include tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders out of Texas.
The Carolina Panthers will make their preseason debut tomorrow night on the road against the New England Patriots, which will be that franchise's first game in the post-Bill Belichick era. The Panthers areafter another poor finish last season, their sixth straight with a losing record. In order to leave that sorry recent past behind, Carolina will need a new generation of young players to step up and help turn the team's fortunes around.
Unfortunately we won't get to see the team's two most-important rookies on Thursday. Their first-round pick, wide receiver Xavier Legette is unlikely to playhe suffered at practice recently. Meanwhile, second-round running back Jonathon Brooks is not expected to join the team until around October after suffering a torn ACL last season.
Nevertheless, there are still a few first-year players who could begin to make a name for themselves against New England. Playing time is always at best a guess for the preseason, but we expect these three draft picks to get at least a good long look.The fact that Ian Thomas is still somehow at the top of this team's depth chart at tight end says everything you need to know about the mismanagement it's suffered in recent years.
were nothing special, Sanders has the frame and athleticism to succeed in the red zone at this level.Unlike tight end, there's a long-standing tradition of excellence - or at least pretty-goodness at the off-ball linebacker spots. The latest addition to the group is Trevin Wallace, who Carolina picked in the third round of the draft.
