The Panthers added eight players in this year’s draft, led by a talented wide receiving prospect that could be an exclamation point on the entire class.

Jackson joins Derrick Brown, A’Shawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown on a completely revamped defensive line. With last year’s sixth-round pick Jaden Crumedy and former starting nose tackle Shy Tuttle competing to stick around, Jackson could end up pushing one or both of them off the roster.
