A few days ago, Carolina Panthers rookie Ikem Ekwonu and his fellow 2022 draft mates arrived in Spartanburg, S.C. for their first NFL training camp. Now, the team is already preparing for the 2023 draft, rearranging their scouting department with various promotions and reassignments.
While Carolina hasn’t had a household name in the department since Luke Kuechly resigned from his pro scout position last year, they’ve rearranged a few scouting personnel Thursday evening, per Joseph Person of The Athletic.
At the top, the Panthers promoted Rob Hanrahan from their assistant director of pro personnel to their director of pro scouting. After the team hired him as a pro scout in 2017, Hanrahan quickly worked his way up the ranks with the Panthers.
