Carolina Panthers 2027 NFL Draft Prospect Profile: Greg Johnson

The Cat Scratch Reader previews Minnesota’s versatile interior lineman Greg Johnson as a 2027 NFL Draft target for the Carolina Panthers.

Eagles-Panthers Film Review: This defense needs help. It also needs to play better.

The Eagles’ defense struggled against the Panthers on Oct. 18, 2026, logging a staggering 79 snaps—the most of the season—while still allowing key mismatches. Panthers’ motion repeatedly pitted Tetairoa McMillan against rookie safety Andrew Mukuba, exposing communication lapses, missed tackles, and a vulnerable split‑safety look that left linebacker Zack Baun overstretched. Even with four defenders around McMillan, the secondary failed to disrupt the route, and veteran Tariq Woolen’s performance draws criticism after a $12 million contract. Tight end Tommy Tremble’s blocking stood out, suggesting a potential acquisition target. The piece argues the Eagles need offensive help and a defensive overhaul to stop the Panthers’ targeted attacks.
