We are 76 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at the two young players currently wearing that jersey this offseason: Offensive tackle Blaine Clausell and defensive tackle Karter Schult.

Number 76 is shared by two players who have been around the NFL for a little bit and are hoping to seize a chance to make a name for themselves with the Carolina Panthers. Both Clausell and Shult have yet to make their on field debut in a regular season game.

Clausell has bounced around a few practice squads in his career so far. Hopefully his experience with NFL off season programs will help give him a leg up in competing for a spot along a relatively thin Panthers’ offensive line.

Schult was a bit of a regional hero at alma mater University of Northern Iowa, earning FCS All-American honors. He hopes to make an impact at training camp as a pass rushing defensive tackle, a position at which no NFL team can be too stocked.
