We’re counting down the days until the Panthers open up the 2025 season!
There are 92 days left until the first day of the Carolina Panthers 2025 season. With that, we talk about the man wearing number 92 for the Panthers, defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton.
One offseason after investing most of their available resources in shoring up the offensive line, the Panthers’ front office did the same for their defensive front this offseason. One of the pickups was Tershawn Wharton. He had spent the previous five seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and won two Super Bowls. He wasn’t a full time starter for them but he was a key piece on what was generally a solid front. He’s coming off his best season; he registered 6.5 sacks and 11 quarterback hits.
Wharton originally latched on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent coming out of Missouri S&T (not a typo) in 2020. He impressed enough to make the final roster coming out of camp, and he held his spot down for five years before departing for the Panthers.
The Panthers are banking on Wharton continuing the steady upward trend of his career so far with the increased opportunities he’s going to get in Carolina. They did well with the last T. Wharton they brought in. Hopefully Tershawn makes that two for two.
