The Carolina Panthers are coming out from a disastrous season that saw them end the season with a 2-5 record and struggle of their rookie quarterback Bryce Young’s struggle despite garnering attention as first overall pick of the last NFL draft. After the nightmare, the team set their sight for a rebound season with a revamped roster in all positions, including wide receiver.
Meanwhile, reportedly, USC standout wide receiver Brenden Rice, after declaring his draft, has turned into their potential target along with Western Kentucky star wideout Malachi Corley.
Panthers set to host Brenden Rice, Malachi Corley
Brenden Rice, son of NFL legend Jerry Rice, is making his mark on the NFL radar, with a TOP-30 visit scheduled with the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, as confirmed by league sources to MLFootball.
Meanwhile, Western Kentucky star wideout Malachi Corley is also in the mix, currently in Charlotte for his TOP-30 visit with the Panthers slated for tomorrow.
Rice’s physicality on the field contrasts with Corley’s dynamic playmaking abilities, offering the Panthers diverse options for their offensive arsenal. Throughout his collegiate journey spanning USC and Colorado, Rice, who recently shared an advantage over his legendary father, has consistently delivered stellar performances. With 111 catches, 1,821 yards, and an impressive 21 touchdowns to his name, Rice’s senior year at USC saw him rack up 45 receptions, nearly 800 yards, and an impressive 12 touchdowns.
On the other hand, Corley, the standout from the Hilltoppers, boasts an impressive 2,277 receiving yards over the previous two seasons, along with 22 touchdowns during that time frame.
Ranked as WR15 and WR16, respectively, on Sports Info Solutions’ big board for the NFL Draft, both Rice and Corley present enticing prospects for the Panthers as they seek to bolster their receiving corps.
