Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo might’ve said a little too much in his first press conference with the organization two weeks ago. But he didn’t say enough to completely tip his team’s hand.
On Friday night, the Panthers traded up into the third round of the 2022 NFL draft to select Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral. And that bold move, according to general manager Scott Fitterer, was powered by the trust Carolina had in McAdoo’s eye for talent under center.
“Ben has done a really good job over the years evaluating quarterbacks,” said Fitterer, who spoke with WNFZ’s The Clubhouse with Kyle Bailey on Monday. “We’ve seen his old reports, and they’re timestamped. And he’s very accurate in terms of his projection.”
