When Damarri Mathis put on a strong showing during Pitt's pro day last Monday, he not only boosted his NFL Draft stock, but also helped inspire the current defensive backs on the Panthers' roster to reach higher for their chances to make it to the NFL. Mathis poses to be the fourth Pitt defensive back selected in the last five NFL Drafts, and both A.J. Woods and Khalil Anderson are current Panthers in the secondary who were inspired by that and are excited to continue their growth in 2022.
Woods is a senior cornerback who's started four games over his first three years while playing in 24 games as a cornerback and ten games as a special teams player.
