The Carolina Panthers' defensive line is the engine of Ejiro Evero's defense, and for 2025, it's looking significantly revamped and loaded with potential! After a challenging 2024 season, can this unit finally deliver consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks and solidify the run defense?
In this video, we're breaking down the entire Carolina Panthers defensive line for 2025, covering both the interior defensive tackles and the edge rushers:
Derrick Brown's Return to Dominance: After a season-ending injury in 2024, Derrick Brown is back and aiming to regain his Pro Bowl form. When healthy, he's an elite run-stopper and a disruptive force in the middle. We'll discuss his importance to the entire defense and his potential to re-enter the conversation as one of the league's top defensive tackles.
New Faces on the Interior: Tershawn Wharton & Bobby Brown III: The Panthers made key free-agent acquisitions in Tershawn Wharton (from the Chiefs) and Bobby Brown III (from the Rams). These additions bring depth, physicality, and a much-needed pass-rushing presence from the interior. How will they complement Derrick Brown and create a more stout run defense and interior pass rush?
Depth & Competition: We'll look at other players like LaBryan Ray, Jaden Crumedy, and rookie Cam Jackson. Who will emerge as key rotational pieces and provide valuable snaps behind the projected starters?
