We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!
There are 63 days separating us from the first Sunday of the 2025 NFL season. With that, we look at the players that have donned the 63 jersey for the Carolina Panthers, particularly current offensive lineman Austin Corbett.
Corbett joined the Panthers as a free agent after four seasons split between the Browns and Rams. The Browns made him a high second round pick in 2018 but apparently had little use for him, so they traded him to the Rams midway through his second season. He cemented himself as a starter in LA and won the Super Bowl there at the end of the 2021 season.
Corbett has dealt with injuries the last couple years after a strong first two years in Carolina. Even though he has only appeared in nine total games over the last two seasons, the Panthers elected to bring him back as the team’s preferred starting center. If he stays healthy, he’ll be a cog in what should be a dominant offensive line protecting Bryce Young.
The number 63 has a history of being associated with versatile interior offensive linemen in Carolina. Jamar Nesbit wore the number in the early 2000s while starting at either guard spot. Geoff Hangartner wore it during both of his stints with the team in the 2000s and 2010s during which time he lined up at both guard and center.
