The Carolina Panthers selected eight rookies this weekend during the 2025 NFL Draft.

However, the front office isn’t done adding to the roster. With the draft completed, the team will turn to undrafted free agency to find some overlooked gems.

Last year, the Panthers were able to identify wideout Jalen Coker and safety Demani Richardson as likely contributors. Both were able to make it onto the roster eventually and serve in important roles down the stretch.

Who will be the next Coker? Who will be the next Richardson? Stay tuned to this undrafted free-agent tracker throughout the weekend to see who get the chance to follow in their footsteps:
