Why Bryce Young and Michael Penix's duel in the finale has the Panthers and Falcons hoping they can make the division more competitive with their young franchise quarterbacks.

The defensive backs arrived at the combine on Thursday, many with the same goal: to prove they are the best, even if they don't participate in workouts. 

Tar Heels tight end Bryson Nesbit spent a childhood learning from his dad, former Panther Jamar Nesbit. Now he's ready to follow his footsteps to the NFL. 

Here's how to tune in to this week's NFL Scouting Combine workouts. 

The pass-rusher class took to the podium on Wednesday. Whether Charlotte natives or not, former Panthers were pointed to as an inspiration. Plus Abdul Carter wants to go No. 1 overall, and more. 

The Tennessee pass-rusher began his football career at a young age in Charlotte. Now he's on the precipice of the next level, and producing at a level every team is watching closely.

The NFL Combine is a marker for how far Panthers have come. Plus, GM Dan Morgan provided a series of updates on injuries and free agency.

The Panthers know they need many parts to help that side of the ball, at every level. The goal is to do for that side what they did with the offensive line last year.

Dan Morgan and Dave Canales are happy with the Panthers wide receiver room. But with the draft and free agency on the horizon, they aren't closing the door to possibilities. 

From the way Dan Morgan and Dave Canales talked about the line Tuesday, it's clear they want to keep last year's group intact, and continue to build on their good work.

The Panthers general manager said he hoped an extension for his star cornerback would come "sooner rather than later."

The slow months after the season are over, and as we land in Indianapolis, the work of building the Panthers roster for 2025 begins in earnest.
