He's better than the LB they drafted in round 6. I'm a panthers fan and I was perplexed by the late round selections they made. At least they got it right eventually lol. He'll be able to beat out the 6th round guy for a roster spot hopefully

Great opportunity. I'm sure JM will be in the mix for a spot.

Jackson plays much better than he tests. His lack of speed probably cost him a spot in the draft. However his ability to diagnose plays allows him to get quickly to the place he needs to be. He plays faster than many with better speed. His chance to make the squad will probably come down to his performance in live practice and the first preseason game.

Good luck.

Solid FB player with a motor which is key in the NFL. He is mobile and eats up the field. He is weak on the inside run stop and will have problems there. But the NFL game is very open so I’d better he would do better than most appreciate.

I am a Jackson Mitchell fan so now Carolina. I hope he has a long long career!!

He didn't test as well as some others, but you can't measure his heart and his ability to make plays. He'll have to make it on special teams. I believe he will stick or end on PS

Another Husky who represented the program well during bad times. I will personally cheer for Mitchell and Haynes in their pro careers... specially when they play against Dallas!
