Unsung Hero Award: Ryan Kalil, Kalil has quietly become one of the best centers in the league. Even on a great offensive line that doesn't get much notoriety besides Jordan Gross, Kalil doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

Most Improved Award: Thomas Davis, Definitely the worst loss for the Panthers this season was when TD went out with his injury. Before he was injured, he was playing every bit as well as Beason does and probably would have been in the Pro Bowl discussion had he stayed healthy.

Rookie of the Year: Captain Munnerlyn, Captain was a huge surprise this year. Has a knack for finding the ball, good tackler, pretty good in coverage for a 7th round rookie. Captain Munnerlyn is surely the best 7th round pick in team history.

Coordinator of the Year: Ron Meeks, I had bashed Meeks for some very conservative looks earlier this season, but he started to take a few more chances as the defense got settled into the new system and BOY were they looking Super Bowl-worthy in the second half of the season.

Offensive MVP: Travelle Wharton, Unusual choice? Sure, but Moore wasn't in the lineup long enough, 89 was limited, and it's hard to pick between Williams and Stewart. So I went with the best offensive lineman still standing at the end of the year. The offensive line is collectively the best group on the team.

Team MVP: Jon Beason, Beason had a slower start this year than he did last, but that can be attributed to settling into the new Meeks system. Once repetition got drilled into his brain enough that things became second-nature again, he became that all-world linebacker that we all remembered from last year. Intensity, sure-fire tackling, solid coverage, great leadership...Beason is the total package. He's going to break a lot of team records one day.

Jon Beason, your 2009 Carolina Panthers MVP.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
