South Florida defensive lineman Terrell McClain conducted a private workout today for a Carolina Panthers defensive line coach, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

McClain is building momentum in NFL circles following a strong Pro Day workout where he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.82 and 4.95 seconds.

All but two NFL teams were at the workout. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was there as well as Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo, coach Lovie Smith and personnel executive Tim Ruskell.

According to an NFL source, McClain's stock is rising into second-round consideration.

He has drawn particular interest from the Bears, Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams, Panthers, New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He spoke with Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome during the East-West Shrine all-star game.

The 6-foot-2, 297-pounder was an All-Big East Conference selection, posting 24 tackles three sacks and 4 1/2 tackles for losses last season.

As a junior, he recorded 25 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks, five tackles for losses, a forced fumble and three quarterback pressures.

McClain was also recruited by Alabama, Auburn, Florida, North Carolina State and South Carolina.

Looks like we are really concentrating on DT in the 3rd round.. looks like Dareus may not be our pick at #1..

Due diligence.

Though if they think they could get this guy in the third, and think he's good enough, I could see taking Peterson in the first.

Be a heck of a risk though. Go that route and what happens if another team takes him in the second?

I think you have to make that first pick the best guy and deal with what happens next when you come to it.

Having the first pick in the 3rd round will give us a great shot at this prospect. All the sites I have seen have this guy rated at low 3rd/high 4th round. I am sure they could get him at the top of the 3rd, but they may be looking at him with a comp selection. It depends on how well they like him, I suppose.

I just don't get the rationale of spending our first two picks on defense when our offense blows.

However, we could be adopting the Texans mentality when they passed on the superstar for Mario Williams and our aim is to stop the QBs in our division until we can find one of our own. I just don't know if I can take Jimmy Clausen's lame duck knuckleball for another season.

reggie bush turned out to not be the superstar the hype machine made him appear to be.

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
