Matt Corral is the Carolina Panthers’ forgotten quarterback. He is a 24-year-old enigma who in the past year, if we’re talking strictly football, lost just about everything: His health, his teammates in the QB room, his first NFL head coach and even his uniform number.
“It was a rough year,” Corral said Monday. “A long one.”
Now Corral is buried on the Panthers’ depth chart at No. 3, behind veteran Andy Dalton and rookie No. 1 pick Bryce Young. Corral was considered the Carolina Panthers’ quarterback of the future only a year ago, with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield serving as bridge QBs until he was ready.
