Five Saints standouts that will define the Carolina Panthers season opener in the Big Easy.
will kick off the 2024 season, mercifully bringing the most tumultuous offseason in franchise history to a bitter end. The NFL schedule-makers did the Panthers zero favors, sending Carolina on the road in week one to play a division rival in The Big Easy.
Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu will be tasked with shutting down the Saints prominent pass-rushing trio. Cameron Jordan and Chase Young are the names that live on the marquee at the Caesers Superdome, but Carl Granderson will bring just as much fight to the Carolina front. The blend of speed, power, skill, and straight up nasty beetween those three stars will have Ekwonu and Moton on their heels all afternoon.
Rashid Shaheed is a true burner that flies past defenses. He averaged 15.6 yards per reception in 2023, stretching the defense vertically to allow Olave and the Saints tertiary receiving options space to operate in the more shallow areas of the field. Mike Jackson, the current starter opposite of Jaycee Horn, will be tasked with slowing down the speedy Shaheed. Talk about being thrown to the wolves.
