Charles Davis spotlighted fifth-round rookie Mitchell Evans as the tight end to watch in Carolina’s camp battle. Davis reminded listeners the Panthers have cycled through five different starting TEs since trading Greg Olsen and still ranked bottom-three in red-zone target rate to the position last year. Evans, according to Davis, is a true "combo" player who blocked inline for Missouri yet posted a 2.07 yards-per-route-run mark that would have ranked top-10 among NFL tight ends in 2024. Because his closest competition—Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas—combined for just 36 receptions, Davis believes Evans can leapfrog the depth chart quickly. He pegged the rookie as an early DFS punt once salaries release and a deep-league flier who could become Bryce Young’s security blanket by October.
