Panthers Draft Monroe Freeling, Boosting QB Bryce Young's Protection

0:00On April 24th, the Carolina Panthers just snag Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling with the 19th overall pick in the draft, aiming to. Beef up their offensive line and give quarterback Bryce Young some real protection up front. Freeling brings solid college tape, playing eight games as a freshman in 2023. 13 games with four starts the next year, and then. 14 games with 13 starts in 2025, where he earned second team all SEC honors. This move addresses a key need for Carolina as Freelings elite size at six feet seven and three hundred fifteen pounds combined with his athleticism makes him a nightmare blocker in open space and helps him handle defensive stunts. He still has room to grow like fixing a radic hand placement in pass pro and getting more consistent in the run game, but is testing numbers. Pop 4.93 in the 40 yard dash, a 33.5 inch vertical, and a nine foot seven broad jump.

1:00Panthers fans should feel good about this edition, locking down Young's blind side, moving forward, setting the stage for a stronger pocket presence. Next season, you've been listening to NFL news today, AI powered football coverage.
