Panthers tempt fate, work out Southern Cal’s Nelson Agholor

The Panthers obviously need to upgrade their receiving corps, but apparently they’re considering tempting fate to do so.

Via Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers are working out Southern Cal wide receiver Nelson Agholor Thursday in Tampa.

Agholor is an intriguing prospect in his own right, as a slot receiver who might pair well with last year’s first-round pick Kelvin Benjamin.

But if he slipped to their spot in the second round, the Panthers should run, not walk, in the other direction.

The Panthers thought they had keepers in second-round Trojans wideouts Keary Colbert and Dwayne Jarrett, but both flopped for different reasons.
