The Carolina Panthers face a critical juncture with tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders, drafted in the fourth round last year. Despite showing immense potential, Sanders' rookie season was marred by a neck injury and underwhelming stats—just 33 receptions for 342 yards and one touchdown. With offseason adjustments looming, the Panthers are reportedly considering bolstering their tight end position, eyeing Penn State's Tyler Warren as a potential early draft pick. If selected, Warren would likely be expected to start, which could significantly impact Sanders' target opportunities moving forward.
