We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!

Hello CSR! We’re diving right back into our traditional countdown to the Panthers first game of the NFL season. For today’s countdown, we take a deeper look at number 98; EDGE DJ Wonnum!

EDGE DJ Wonnum

Wonnum entered the NFL as a 4th round pick during the 2020 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings out of The University of South Carolina. The former Gamecock played 62 games for The Vikings with 31 starts, logging 23 sacks, 171 tackles, 49 QB hits, and 11 pass deflections in...

Our countdown has begun

May 31st marks 99 days to go until the Carolina Panthers open their season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That means it is time for our annual roster countdown. We’ll profile either the player whose jersey number corresponds with the number of days remaining in the offseason or, if no player is currently wearing that number, a player who historically wore that number as a Panther.

This is it, folks. Football is back on the horizon. There are more OTAs in June, training camp begins in July, and the preseason is in August. Check out our full...

We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!

In this series, we’ll be counting down until opening kickoff by running through the Panthers roster by jersey number. Today’s piece looks at the current and historical players to have ever donned No. 99 for the Carolina Panthers.

Current Player: Shy Tuttle

Shy Tuttle (6’3”, 300lbs) was originally undrafted out of Tennessee following the 2019 NFL Draft. He was then signed by the hated New Orleans Saints, where he spent four solid seasons. The local kid (he attended North Davidson High School in Lexington, NC) returned...

The Panthers second year wide receiver has spoken openly about his struggles and path to improvement.

Carolina Panthers second year wide receiver Xavier Legette has been a focal point for the media in the offseason and at OTAs. His southern charm and accent is always a joy to listen to, and he’s been open discussing his play on the field and the new look wide receiver room.

Legette was very critical of his own play late last season and doubled down when asked about it during his press conference saying he didn’t think he was too hard on himself because...

Reading between the lines on offseason plans and comments shows a renewed focus on the running game

With the first week of organized team activities (OTAs) in the books, coaches are heaping praise on every step of their plan to build a competitive Carolina Panthers team for the 2025 season. We are firmly in the regularly scheduled “X player is in the best shape of his life” portion of the off season. For all the coach and agent speak that is going to flood the NFL news cycle over the coming months, there is plenty that we can read between...

Key players and members of the Panthers coaching staff spoke after the first da

The Carolina Panthers started their Organized Team Activities on Thursday. With that, top members of the coaching staff and a couple players spoke with the media, as you might expect, everyone is very excited.

Xavier Legette and Bryce Young both got in front of the press to talk about going into their second and third year’s respectively. Legette talked about meeting with wide receivers coach Rob Moore and offensive coordinator Brad Idzik right after the season to review his rookie year and talk about what went...

With four rookies, each at positions of need, Carolina is poised for significant change

Eyes are split in the Carolinas this offseason, as continued improvement from quarterback Bryce Young and a nowhere-to-go-but-up attitude towards the defense vie for attention as the likeliest reason the Carolina Panthers could make a competitive leap forwards in 2025.

This week we're going to focus on the defense. The Panthers' 2025 draft class included four defensive players, edges Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen, safety Lathan Ransom, and defensive tackle Cam Jackson. Every position group on this defense was in need of upgrades, so each rookie...

Football can’t get here son enough now that we’re in the deep off season

Fans of the Carolina Panthers are ready for football to start in Charlotte, per last week’s Panthers Reacts survey. We asked y’all which of four games you were most looking forward to this season. The answer was mildly mixed, but a strong plurality of y’all are more than ready for the Panthers Week 3 home opener vs the Atlanta Falcons.

The Buffalo Bills game in Week 9 represents the strongest opponent the Panthers are likely to face at home, so it’s no surprise that fans are...
