Pride Jr. was the Panthers fourth round selection out of Notre Dame and is expected to add depth at the corner position. Aside from Donte Jackson and Eli Apple, there's not a lot of promise at corner, so Pride Jr. should be able to slide into the rotation fairly early in his rookie season.

The Panthers took Robinson in the fifth round and he brings professional experience to the team as he was the first player to be drafted into the NFL out of the XFL, which the league has since dissipated. Juston Burris and Tre Boston will likely start the season in the back end, but look for Robinson and fellow draftee Jeremy Chinn to get a look at starting as the season progresses.

The Carolina Panthers have now signed four of their seven draft picks from the 2020 NFL Draft. S Jeremy Chinn, DL Bravvion Roy, and CB Stanley Thomas-Oliver remain unsigned.
