The Carolina Panthers may reportedly
give rookie quarterback Matt Corral a chance to win the starting job
if they’re unable to find a new veteran QB before training camp.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday on
SportsCenter that Sam Darnold remains the favorite to start for the
Panthers but highlighted how it’s still a fluid situation:
“The door is open slightly for
[Corral] to potentially take the job because the Panthers are still
essentially looking for veteran quarterback help. They would like
somebody else—that’s why the Baker Mayfield situation, Jimmy
Garoppolo might not be completely dead at this point. And so it
certainly seems [Darnold] is the favorite to start. They know Matt
Corral is a bit of a project, a little like Malik Willis, because of
the offense he came from in Ole Miss. He’s going to need some time to
learn the nuances of the NFL game, but they love the talent. So, he
could at least make this interesting for sure.”
