A year ago, the Carolina Panthers struggled to get teams off the field on 3rd downs which had a lot to do with the secondary. Granted, the NFC South is loaded with top-notch receivers and QB play but the Panthers had issues that they couldn t fix in the middle of the season.
Injuries and a lack of depth at corner really hurt the defense at times throughout the course of the season which is why GM Scott Fitterer placed an emphasis on the third level of the defense this offseason. The cornerbacks room saw the most attention by signing veterans A.J. Bouye and Rashaan Melvin, then using the No. 8 overall pick on South Carolina s Jaycee Horn. Later in the draft, the Panthers took yet another corner by taking Keith Taylor of Washington.

Four dames and four knights have been appointed to the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2021. Years ago, when Mani Bruce Mitchell was talking with the late Rangimārie Te Turuki Arikirangi Rose Pere, she told them Māori have always known about intersex people. “[Kaumātua] would say: ‘this child has been sent to us to teach us something’. What a beautiful way of looking at and holding difference,” Mitchell, who uses they/them pronouns and the honorific Mx, said. In this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours, Wellington-based Mitchell is believed to be one of the first intersex, non-binary Kiwis to be made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. They were awarded the honour for services to intersex advocacy and education, having helped found Intersex Awareness New Zealand (also known as the Intersex Trust of Aotearoa New Zealand/ITANZ) in 1997 – the first of its kind globally.
