Former UNC linebacker, Tennessee safety sign with Panthers

Charlotte, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have signed two more of their draft picks, including former North Carolina Tar Heel Andre Smith.

The team announced the signing of safety Rashaan Gaulden and Smith Friday.

Gaulden, who played at Tennessee, was a third-round pick (85th overall), while Smith was taken in the seventh round (234th overall).

In 2017, Gaulden led the Volunteers with three fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles, which tied for the fourth most among all SEC defensive players.
