LT Russell Okung
Perhaps the worst move the Panthers made this offseason was trading Trai Turner to the Chargers for Russell Okung, a lineman who is five years older and had significant injury issues last season. A lot is riding on how well Okung plays at left tackle, which has been a revolving door ever since Jordan Gross retired after 2013. Okung has always been a respectable pass blocker. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed zero sacks on 143 pass blocking snaps last year. Bridgewater will need that trend to continue if Carolina’s offense is going to have any chance of getting off the ground.
