In this story:

Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have several draft picks to make in next month's NFL draft. Despite spending a ton in free agency and addressing needs, they still have plenty of positions they'd like to shore up.

The pre-draft visits, both on Zoom and at Pro Days, are a good way to see where the scouting is and who they might end up drafting. So far, they've met with a few prospects at a couple of positions, showcasing their perceived need.

Here's everyone the Panthers have met with so far in the pre-draft process.

Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez

Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez has skyrocketed up draft boards ever since the Senior Bowl. He's got everyone's attention, including Dan Morgan, who is meeting with a few linebackers ahead of the draft.

Texas A&M IDL Tyler Onyedim

The Panthers met with Texas A&M interior defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim on a top-30 visit. He finished 2025 with 9.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.

Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder

As mentioned, the Panthers and Dan Morgan are keyed in on linebacker prospects. They've met with several, including Michigan linebacker Jimmy Rolder, whom they met with back at the NFL Combine.

UConn K Chris Freeman

Despite signing UDFA Ryan Fitzgerald last year and him making several game-winning kicks, the Panthers met with UConn kicker Chris Freeman at his Pro Day. He made 23/26 field goals in 2025 and didn't miss an extra point.

Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr.

Similar to Rodriguez above, the Panthers sent Dan Morgan to the Texas Pro Day as well, and he met closely with Anthony Hill Jr., who seems to firmly be on the GM's radar.

LSU S AJ Haulcy

Safety is a major position of need in the NFL draft, so the Panthers are going to host LSU safety AJ Haulcy on a top-30 visit. He was first-team All-SEC last year with 88 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble.

Ohio State IDL Kayden McDonald

At the Combine, the Panthers met with Ohio State defensive lineman Kayden McDonald, who has been featured in some mock drafts to the Panthers. He had 65 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks in 2025.

Western Michigan P Anthony Beacom

After re-signing Sam Martin to a two-year deal, punter is no longer an issue, but the Panthers still met with Western Michigan punter Anthony Beacom at his Pro Day.

Ole Miss TE Dae'Quan Wright

The Panthers are also going to meet with Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright on a top-30 visit. This means tight end is definitely on their draft radar. He was Second-Team All-SEC after a five-TD season.

Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion

Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion was featured in a recent mock draft to Carolina. Now, they're going to visit with him. Because he's a local player (formerly of NC State), this counts as a local visit rather than a top-30 visit.

Temple WR Kajiya Hollowayne

Despite having a full depth chart and then some at wide receiver, the Panthers have met with a few ahead of the draft. At the Temple Pro Day, they met with Kajiyah Hollowayne, a receiver who had six TDs last season.

Washington OT Carver Willis

An award-winning tackle with 10 starts under his nelt in 2025, Carver Willis had a Zoom meeting with the Panthers. The Panthers would like depth/development pieces at tackle, so this is no surprise.

Miami LB Wesley Bissainthe

Despite signing Devin Lloyd, the Panthers have also expressed a desire in potentially adding in the draft. They met with Miami linebacker Wesley Bissainthe. He had 71 tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception in 2025.

Georgia TE Oscar Delp

The Panthers could use some help at tight end, and the draft may be where they find that help. They've met with Georgia tight end Oscar Delp. He finisihed the Combine with an incredible 9.83 Real Athletic Score.

Oregon WR Malik Benson

The Panthers have been linked to Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq endlessly in the draft. However, ahead of the draft, they've met with a different Oregon prospect: wide receiver Malik Benson. They met with him one-on-one at his Pro Day.

Indiana RB Kaelon Black

The Panthers will host Indiana running back Kaelon Black on a too-30 visit. Given the recent signing of AJ Dillon and the recent draft picks of Jonathon Brooks and Trevor Etienne, this feels like doing due diligence and nothing more.

Missouri LB Khalil Jacobs

The Panthers will meet virtually with Missouri linebacker Khalil Jacobs. He had 47 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, and two pass breakups in 2025. Linebacker depth remains a need for the Panthers.

South Carolina DB Jalon Kilgore

The Panthers met with Jalon Kilgore at the Senior Bowl and will be hosting him on a top-30 visit. South Carolina has been a funnel school for the Panthers lately, so he's someone to keep on the radar for the draft.

Texas CB Malik Muhammad

Similarly, the Panthers met with Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad and plan to host him for a second visit. Not everyone gets multiple visits, so the Panthers must have Muhammad really high on their draft board.

Ball State EDGE Nathan Voorhis

Despite signing Jaelan Phillips, the Panthers are still interested in edge rushers. Dan Morgan has said you can never have too many, so it's no surprise that the Panthers are meeting with Ball State edge Nathan Voorhis. He had 12 sacks last year.

Clemson G Walker Parks

The Panthers may be in the market for some interior depth on the offensive line. They met with towering offensive guard Walker Parks at the Clemson Pro Day. He is coming off a season-ending ankle injury, but he was voted a permanent team captain in 2025.

Syracuse IDL Kevin Jobity Jr.

The Panthers may also be in on some interior depth on the defensive side of the ball. They met with Syracuse IDL Kevin Jobity Jr. at his Pro Day, and he said the Panthers were one of three teams that truly stood out to him. He had five sacks and six tackles for a loss last season.

Memphis OT Travis Burke

Given the fact that the Panthers have one offensive tackle signed beyond 2026, it's prudent that they scout the position. They met with Memphis tackle Travis Burke virtually. He stands 6'9", one of the tallest draft prospects, and has played both left and right tackle during his career. He's primarily played the left side, though.

Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson

The Panthers have drafted a running back in two consecutive drafts, but that isn't stopping them. They virtually met over Zoom with Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson. He had over 1,800 total yards and 15 TDs en route to a First-Team All-Big Ten nod last year.

Kansas IOL Kobe Baynes

More interior depth up front for the Panthers. They met with Kansas interior offensive lineman (so a guard and center hybrid) Kobe Baynes. He allowed zero sacks in pass-protection last year, earning a Second-Team All-Big 12 in 2025.

Other

Some prospects have met with every single team at their Pro Days.
