The Panthers selected Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral with the 94th overall pick in the third round of Friday night’s NFL draft.
Carolina, who has been seeking quarterback help following the uneven play of Sam Darnold and Cam Newton last season, will not be in the market for a veteran quarterback now that they’ve drafted Corral, their general manager Scott Fitterer confirmed on Friday night, per ESPN’s David Newton.
Rumors and speculation ran rampant in the lead-up to the draft regarding the possibility that Carolina would trade for Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield.
