Panthers to draft Stroud and Smith-Njigba?
NFL draft season is upon us and monitoring the rumors and potential landing spots for Ohio State Buckeyes is a full-time job. We have made it past the combine and the Ohio State Pro Day, with both events showcasing just how talented Jaxon Smith-Njigba, C.J. Stroud, and Paris Johnson Jr. really are.
Now we have moved to the portion of the off-season where NFL teams are inviting players to visit and it has been reported that the Carolina Panthers are bringing Smith-Njigba in for a visit. Carolina recently traded for the number one pick and brought in a baker’s dozen front-office personnel to the Ohio State Pro Day.
The Panthers supposedly came away convinced Stroud was going to be the first selection, but now with the announcement of Smith-Njigba visiting the Carolina facilities, there are rumors circulating that the Panthers will move back into position trade Smith-Njigba after selecting Stroud first overall.
The Panthers are in deep rebuild mode and adding a franchise quarterback and bonafide number-one receiver, who already have a previous connection seems like a good start.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s change of direction is a thing of BEAUTY 😳
Njigba was taken out to dinner by the Giants the night before his Pro Day.
Njigba also said that he has Top-30 visits scheduled with the Bears, Panthers, and Saints.
