The Carolina Panthers have done something that no other NFL team has done (yet).
They’re the first team to sign their entire 2024 NFL Draft class.
They selected Xavier Legette in the first round of the draft and quickly got him signed, ditto for second-round pick Jonathon Brooks. They also got to work on the rest of their draft picks, including third-round linebacker Trevin Wallace, and have them all locked up to contracts.
Most of them will get to showcase their talents at rookie minicamp this weekend. Brooks will be the only rookie who doesn’t participate in the practices since he’s still working his way back from a torn ACL.
Brooks spent three seasons with Texas and was one of the best running backs in the country before he tore his ACL against TCU on Nov. 11. He played in 10 games, finishing the season with 187 carries for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Legette spent five seasons at South Carolina and had the best season of his career in 2023, finishing with 71 receptions for 1,255 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Panthers will be hoping that they can get some strong production from these players during the 2024 season.
