On the Fringes: Opportunity knocks for Panthers LB Clay Johnston

(Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports) Clay Johnston

Could opportunity be coming at the right time for Clay Johnston as he looks to make the Carolina Panthers 53-man roster in 2021?

It came as no surprise to see the Carolina Panthers swoop to acquire Clay Johnston once the Los Angeles Rams decided not to take him on their 53-man roster after 2020 training camp. The linebacker has a close association with the organization and it was almost inevitable that those in power made him an offer despite Sean McVay’s men wanting to keep him around in some capacity.
