Defensive Line

  • Bruce Irvin
  • Dontari Poe
  • Gerald McCoy
  • Brian Burns
  • Kawann Short
  • Vernon Butler
  • Mario Addison
  • Bryan Cox Jr.
  • Kyle Love
  • Marquis Haynes

The defensive line always seems to be a strength in Carolina and that is no different this season. The Panthers arguably have the best defensive tackle rotation in the league after adding McCoy and Poe in free agency with Short, Butler, and Love already on the roster. Burns and Irvin provide more speed off the edge. Addison, Cox Jr., and Haynes will provide depth at defensive end.
