Adam Thielen: two-time Pro Bowler becomes Carolina’s WR1
Thielen, who is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, immediately becomes the most experienced wide receiver on the Panthers roster. During his time with the Vikingshe caught 534 passes for 6,682 yards and 55 touchdowns in 135 games. Making him a prime candidate for WR1 status for the 2023 NFL season.
The Panthers recently also acquired NFL vet Andy Dalton for the QB room, but are expected to make a splash at quarterback with the number one pick they traded for with the Chicago Bears. Amongst capital given up in that trade was DJ Moore, who commanded the Carolina receiver corps for several seasons.
