Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly already were Panthers when he took over but Gettleman continued building a deep and talented roster that featured a fierce defense, with names such as DTs Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short, linebacker A.J. Klein (now on Saints), WR Kelvin Benjamin (now on Bills), LB Shaq Thompson, WR Devin Funchess, and this year RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Curtis Samuel, among others.
