Panthers Defense Revival & Will Lee Pick | Carolina Panthers News

The Carolina Panthers defense flipped its script last season, transforming from a leaky unit into a playoff-caliber force by tightening coverage and limiting big plays. Cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson led the charge with five interceptions apiece, with Horn earning his second Pro Bowl and Jackson earning top-tier PFF praise. With Jackson entering his final contract year, the Panthers drafted versatile fourth-rounder Will Lee — a long-armed, turnover-prone talent from Texas A&M — to bolster the future of their secondary. Scouts see him as a potential starter with the size and instincts to thrive in both coverage schemes, making him a smart, underrated pick poised to become a key piece of the Panthers’ defense.
