Previewing Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson.
Linebacker Shaq Thompson is the second-longest tenured player on the Carolina Panthers' roster behind only long snapper JJ Jansen. For years, Thompson has been the heart and soul of the Carolina defense, serving as the leader for what has been a very young unit in recent years.Thompson's 2023 season was over before it really ever got it started. He fractured his fibula on Monday Night Football in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints and was lost for the year just a couple days later.
After a couple of years sporting his college No. 7, Shaq is going back to the number he came into the league with - No. 54. Perhaps returning to his original number will bring not only him some good luck on the health front, but the team some better luck in the win-loss department. For the first time in quite a while, the Panthers will flank a true all-around solid inside linebacker to go alongside him in Josey Jewell.
