There’s a lot to look forward to in Carolina these days from an offensive line perspective.
The Panthers already had three of their 2020 offensive-line starters on the roster prior to the draft: right tackle Taylor Moton, right guard John Miller and center Matt Paradis.
But the Panthers did some legitimate work in free agency, and in the draft, attempting to strengthen the remaining two spots and add overall depth.
Carolina signed Pat Elflein and Cameron Erving as free agents this offseason. Erving has started at center, guard and tackle during his six NFL seasons. A former starting center and guard for the Minnesota Vikings, Elflein missed most of last season with a thumb injury but started the final six games at left guard for the New York Jets.
