Pff says we should go after Leo Chenal, so thats probably what we do
Leo Chenal
Best Landing Spot: Carolina Panthers
PFF Free-Agent Ranking: 12
After playing a limited role as a situational run-stuffing and blitzing linebacker to start his career with the Chiefs, Chenal is ready to slot in full time elsewhere. He has posted a 70.0-plus PFF run-defense grade in each of his first four seasons. But itβs his improvements in coverage β headlined by a career-best 72.6 PFF grade in 2025 β that should make him an enticing option.
The Panthers' linebacking corps failed to produce a single player with a PFF overall grade above 55.0 in 2025. Adding Chenal to headline the group as the new green-dot communicator would project well for a defense that ranked 23rd in EPA per play allowed this past season.
