On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers made history by becoming the first team to sign their entire draft class. All seven picks are now under contract and will be taking the field for the first time on Friday as the rookie minicamp begins.
Leading the class is first-round pick Xavier Legette, a receiver from South Carolina who made the short trip from Mullins to join the team. Second-round pick Jonathon Brooks will not be participating in the rookie minicamp as he continues to recover from an ACL tear.
Joining Legette at practice will be third-round linebacker Trevin Wallace, fourth-round tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, fifth-round cornerback Chau Smith-Wade, sixth-round defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy, and seventh-round linebacker Michael Barrett. It will be an exciting opportunity for these rookies to showcase their skills and begin their journey in the NFL.
