It turns out the Carolina Panthers weren’t done adding to the Edge group on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, trading up with the New England Patriots for a second time to select Princely Umanmielen out of Ole Miss with the 77th overall pick.
Unlike the Panthers last selection of Nic Scourton in round 2, there’s a fair bit more athletic testing data available for Umanmielen. For edge rushers in particular, you do love to see explosive jumps and Umanmielen’s 38 inch vertical jump 10.5 feet broad jump qualify.
