A.J. Epenesa comes into this week’s NFL Draft as a very intriguing, high-end recruit and one that is not expected to be around after the top 50 picks.
The Carolina Panthers are after another formidable pass-rushing option to put alongside stud defensive end Kawann Short. They lost Gerald McCoy, Vernon Butler, and Dontari Poe from their line in free agency and this needs to be addressed if they want to be competitive in 2020.
Epenesa was formidable from a production perspective during his time in college with the Iowan Hawkeyes.
