Panthers Add Monroe Freeling to Strengthen Offensive Line

0:00On April 24th, the Carolina Panthers just beefed up their offensive line by snagging Georgia tackle Monroe Freeling with the 19th overall pick in the draft. This 21-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina brings serious athleticism to the table. One of the best in his class was a 4.9, 3 second 40 yard dash, a 33.5-inch vertical leap, and those coveted 34.3-inch arms. He's starting the last two seasons at left tackle for the Bulldogs, sliding right into a unit that's solid short-term, but craving long-term stability. Left tackle Icom equinues wrapping up his rookie deal after tearing his batteler tendon in the playoffs against the Rams, so they signed X-Packer. Wresheed Walker for a one-year stopgap, while right tackle Taylor Motens still elite, but hits 32 in August. They also added bets like Stone Forsyth, Pluscar's Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, and Freelings Arrival means real depth and continuity moving. Forward on that line.
