When it comes to the top prospects of the 2022 NFL draft, do the Carolina Panthers love them or do they love them not? As of now, considering that it’s very much smokescreen season, it’s hard to tell.
But Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reported that one of the players the Panthers may be gaga over is offensive tackle Trevor Penning. Wilson wrote that the Northern Iowa product could be a trade-down target on Thursday for Carolina, who currently holds the sixth overall selection.
“’The Panthers love Penning,’ a source said. ‘He’s also a Ravens type of guy with a similar type of tough-guy attitude to Marshal Yanda.’
“Penning patterns his game after Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan, who plays the game with a similar style.
“’We were watching NFL film and trying to learn how to do wide-zone and watched Taylor Lewan and Rodger Saffold a lot,’ Penning said during the Senior Bowl. ‘They were mauling people. It was really fun to watch.’”
