Two Panthers rookies shared photos on Twitter today of themselves in their new blue Carolina uniforms.
Here is a look at fifth-round pick Kenny Robinson, a safety who played with Will Grier at West Virginia and then in the XFL in his new profile pic.

In the seventh round, general manager Marty Hurney came back to the secondary again and selected FIU cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver. He shared a tribute to his mother in his post.

Wholesome.
Day 3 picks don’t normally see a lot of playing time their first year in the league. These two may have a chance, though. After losing so many veterans, this secondary will have no choice but to rely on rookies and reclamation projects.
As far as the depth chart goes, Robinson is a natural free safety, so he should be considered the No. 2 option behind Tre Boston there. Thomas-Oliver is likely the No. 4 outside cornerback behind Donte Jackson, Eli Apple and fourth-round pick Troy Pride Jr.
The Panthers may decide to bring in another corner, though. They recently put in a claim for Ryan Lewis, who was awarded to Washington.
