The Carolina Panthers need more from their offense next season.
Not exactly breaking news for fans who had to sit through another inept campaign production-wise in 2023, but the fact remains.
Those in power are hoping the significant investment on this side of the football bears fruit quickly.
Bryce Young got a significant amount of help throughout a busy recruitment period for new general manager Dan Morgan.
Carolina fortified the offensive line interior with the signings of Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis.
They also hired head coach Dave Canales – a renowned quarterback developer who plans to mold a scheme around the signal-caller’s gifts.
Johnson was a low-risk acquisition via trade who cost nothing more than cornerback Donte Jackson and a late-round pick swap.
He’s one of the smoothest route-runners around and comes into the Panthers with a huge point to prove. There’s also plenty of financial incentive for the former Toledo star in a contract year.
Legette is a little rough around the edges, but the athletic attributes are absolutely off the charts.
His unique blend of size, speed, and physicality is something Canales can put to good use right out of the gate.
There’s work ahead to refine the first-rounder’s route tree, but the ceiling is enormously high once the South Carolina product puts everything together.
