The Carolina Panthers suffered a historic defensive collapse in the 2024 NFL season, allowing the most points ever recorded in a single season. They ranked dead last in various defensive metrics, including yielding an astounding 179.8 rushing yards per game, far surpassing the second-worst team. This prompted a significant overhaul of the defense, with the addition of new veterans and promising draft picks.

Despite the influx of talent, one notable addition seems to be flying under the radar: Bobby Brown III. At 6-foot-4 and 332 pounds, the former Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman has the potential to become a key player in the Panthers' revamped defense. The Panthers' front office inked him to a three-year, $21 million deal, signaling their belief in his capabilities. Expect Brown to play a crucial role in improving the defensive statistics that plagued the Panthers last season.
