As the Panthers prepare for free agency and the draft, let’s take a look back at the offensive rookies (including punter) who saw the field last year and what this could mean for 2021. And make sure you keep reading until you get to Tommy Stevens. Am I crazy, or are you excited about him, too?
Colin Thompson, TE - 183 offensive, 138 special teams snaps
Thompson began last season as a 26-year-old who had never appeared in a regular season game. He caught one pass on two targets for the Panthers in 2020 and it was a memorable seven-yard touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meaning he scored on his first professional touch.
