## Resource

Corey Thornton’s rookie year proved he’s more than just an undrafted free agent—he’s a rising star ready to dominate. With 14 tackles and 3 passes defended in 12 games before a broken fibula, Thornton’s work ethic earned him rave reviews from defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who’s pushing him to compete for the nickelback starting role. His versatility, dedication, and ability to thrive in multiple defensive schemes make him a critical piece for the Panthers’ evolving defense—key to creating mismatches and pressuring offenses as they aim for improvement in Year 2.
