Yesterday before practice I saw these two guys chatting.....

Which got me thinking about the current Miami Hurricanes connection for the Panthers.

 

Ken Dorsey was the QB of the 2001-2002 Hurricanes. He went undefeated in 2002 but lost the Championship game. Dorsey had both Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow to throw to... interesting considering the Panthers are stacked at tight end this season. Dorsey should have great insight into QB-TE connections for Cam.

 

His offensive coordinator in Miami? None other than Rob Chudzinski , whose playbook remains somewhat intact for the Panthers. Chudzinski was influential in the Panthers hiring Dorsey as a pro scout in 2011.

 

Greg Olsen missed playing with Dorsey by one year, joining the Hurricanes in 2003. Olsen spent one year at Miami under then Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski. Olsen went on to become a first round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 2007. In 2011 Olsen joined the Carolina Panthers once again in Chudzinski's offense.

 

Dorsey is well liked within the Panthers organization, and I am told has a real future in the NFL Coaching ranks.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
