Kentucky nose tackle Marquan McCall signed an Undrafted Free Agent contract with the Carolina Panthers after failing to be selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.
McCall played in 40 games with 11 starts over his four-year Kentucky career. He registered 57 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, three QB hurries, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery as a Wildcat. The 3-4 nose tackle position is not one that accumulates a high number of stats. In fact, its main purpose is to eat up double teams and blockers which takes a great deal of unselfishness and toughness to properly execute.
