CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added another developmental pass-rusher to the roster, agreeing to terms with former Rams outside linebacker Nick Hampton.
Hampton was a fifth-round pick of the Rams in 2023 out of Appalachian State, who played in 36 games over the last three seasons.
In five seasons at ASU, he played in 50 games and had 26.5 sacks and 40 tackles for loss. He's fourth on the all-time sack list for the Mountaineers.
He also had 133 quarterback pressures during his time with the Mountaineers.
During his final season, the Anderson, S.C.-native had 7.0 sacks, 9.5 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
He's also the third ASU product on the roster, along with punter Sam Martin and cornerback Tyrek Funderburk.
