## Resource

The Carolina Panthers are throwing Ikem Ekwonu into the fire right out of the gate, with the massive 6-foot-7, 315-pound rookie set to start at right tackle in 2026 — despite spending most of his college career at left tackle. With starter Taylor Moton sidelined by a blood clot and Ekwonu still recovering from offseason knee surgery, the Panthers are forced to rely on their first-round pick to anchor the offensive line from day one. It’s a high-stakes gamble — Ekwonu must protect the QB’s blind side immediately, even as the team’s depth is stretched thin. Can he rise to the occasion and become the cornerstone of a struggling offensive line? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
