Panthers Offensive Tackle Martin Wallace

The offensive line has seen a few changes in week three of the Carolina Panthers OTA practices. 

One of those changes puts #77 back in at the left tackle positions. Instead of Byron Bell, this time is was Martin Wallace. 

Wallace moved up to second string left offensive tackle for a few plays. While this doesn't sound like a major accomplishment for Wallace, it actually is. Getting second string reps is something some players will never see in camp. 

So who is Martin Wallace? 

Listed at 6'6 and 330lbs, Wallace played college ball at Northeastern and Temple. As a senior he made the second team All-Big East Conference team. Wallace came into the league at 305lbs. His added bulk may be by the direction of David Gettleman, but that is speculation on my part. 

Wallace was signed by the Cleveland Browns as an UDFA back in 2013. He was then released and signed to Carolina's practice squad last October. 

As of now, it looks like Wallace has leap frogged Canadian project David Foucault, who hasn't seen any time with the second string (at least on media days).

    • Exactly, like Hill he is just an athlete that happens to be able to throw the ball.  I’m sure, with some reps and time, he could catch just fine.  That’s why I said “and catch” Taysom Hill has beat the poo out of us and many other teams during the SP years.  If we had that!!!  Owe Mang!   Edit:  I’ll add this, 4th and 1 or 2 on the goal line?  We would get 6 points with that dude! Edit 2:  he may not now or ever be a QB1, but he can avg more than 6 yards per play
    • Eh that's debatable at the end of the day. Different schools of thought and whatnot. Generally teams are not overpaying RB's anymore and they don't need to. Most are signing mid-level FA's or drafting them. But they are still fairly important. We have seen one RB drafted in the top 10 in 2025 and an RB just went 3rd overall in the draft a few days ago. You can argue how wise that is but no team generally wants to give an FA RB a huge payday. Yes having a competent and if need be dominant running game is still an asset. The main thing that has changed is how teams invest.
    • Except we have him playing safety, so there's that.
