The Carolina Panthers kick off 2025 training camp with optimism after a busy offseason. New additions—Rico Dowdle, Hunter Renfrow, Patrick Jones II, Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, Mike Jackson, and Trayvon Moehrig—upgrade key positions, while departures like Shaq Thompson and Jadeveon Clowney signal a fresh start. Despite a preseason power ranking of 27th by Bleacher Report, host Myron “Tornado” McRae highlights the team’s improved running game, pass rush, and revamped secondary. Rookie Nick Scorn finally signed his 4-year, $8.6 million deal, ensuring all draft picks are in camp. Bonding trips—like Bryce Young’s recent retreat with his receivers—underscore the focus on team chemistry as the Panthers look to exceed low external expectations and surprise in the NFC South in 2025.
