Chris Manhertz packed up for the summer sun of Jacksonville and left the Carolina Panthers with a significant hole at the tight end position.

Never underestimate the value of a good blocker. During his time with the Carolina Panthers, Chris Manhertz never really did the flashy things like a Greg Olsen or Travis Kelce, but what he did manage to contribute was equally important. He opened up the lane for others and took on some of the game’s best pass rushers, holding his ground in the process.
