Carolina Panthers Day 3 Big Board
A few names to watch for on the third and final day of the draft.
Author:
QB Jamie Newman (Wake Forest)
Carolina doesn t necessarily need to add a quarterback but bringing in Jamie Newman would add competition for the backup spot to Sam Darnold. Newman has a pretty big arm.
