How important is Jeremy Chinn’s transition back to his preferred position of safety for the Carolina Panthers during the 2021 season?

One of the more intriguing elements to keep a close eye on when the Carolina Panthers take the field in 2021 is Jeremy Chinn moving into the secondary. The former second-round pick made a telling contribution as an outside linebacker during his rookie campaign, reaching the sort of levels few expected considering his unfamiliarity playing the position.

The Panthers moved up in the 2020 NFL Draft to select Chinn, who was listed as a safety and dominated for Southern Illinois in this role.
