CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added another pass-catching option following the draft, agreeing to terms with former Raiders receiver and Clemson star Hunter Renfrow Sunday night.
The 29-year-old Renfrow was out of the league last year, but has a track record of production out of the slot.
He caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2021, a breakout after a pair of solidly productive years (105 catches in 2019 and 2020 combined).
In five seasons, he has 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns.
A former fifth-round pick from Clemson and native of Myrtle Beach, S.C., Renfrow quickly made an impression after going to college as a walk-on.
He caught the game-winning touchdown pass for the Tigers in the 2017 National Championship Game against Alabama. He also had a pair of touchdown receptions in the 2016 title game loss to the Crimson Tide, and was part of the 2018 title team as well.
He won the Burlsworth Trophy in 2018, given to the top college player who began his career as a walk-on.
Here, he joins the patron saint of undrafted wideouts (Adam Thielen) and a second-year target who was not chosen last year (Jalen Coker), along with a couple of first round picks in Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan.
