Panthers’ projected defensive depth chart following minicamp
So, how’s the Carolina Panthers defense looking after spring workouts? Here are our projections for their current depth chart as we head out of mandatory minicamp and into summer break.
Defensive line
Position | 1st string | 2nd string | 3rd string | 4th string |
DE | Henry Anderson | Antwuan Jackson | ||
NT | ||||

The big boys, led by a potential breakout star in Brown, stack up as they did going into minicamp.
In the middle
Position | 1st string | 2nd string | 3rd string | 4th string | 5th string |
LOLB | Marquis Haynes Sr. | DJ Johnson | |||
ILB | |||||
ILB | Brandon Smith | Ayinde Eley | |||
ROLB | Amaré Barno | ||||
Wild card |
Yeah, you’re reading that correctly. Chinn is a wild card.
The Panthers don’t seem to know exactly what they’re doing with the talented defender just yet. His versatility, though, could lead him closer to the line of scrimmage.
This group could also see another addition on the edge by the time training camp rolls around.
Secondary
Position | 1st string | 2nd string | 3rd string | 4th string | 5th string |
CB | CJ Henderson | Stantley Thomas-Oliver III | Colby Richardson | ||
CB | Keith Taylor Jr. | Greg Mabin | Mark Milton | ||
SS | Josh Thomas | ||||
FS | Xavier Woods | Sam Franklin |
Robinson has been impressing coaches and teammates alike this spring, and could factor in for the Panthers during his rookie campaign. So maybe there really weren’t 144 guys better than the 145th overall pick.
