Fitterer says they’re still looking for a return specialist.

Otherwise, they filled the two big holes (LT and QB), so that’s something easier to locate.

Cade Mays offers the @Panthers a ton of positional versatility. He can play anywhere on the OL.

Strong bloodlines too. His Dad was an All-SEC OL and captain on the 1994 Tennessee team.
