Usually seventh-round draft picks don’t see a lot of action in their first year in the league. Thomas-Oliver is in a unique spot, though. The Panthers have roughly half of a proven cornerback on their roster right now, so everyone might get opportunities. If projected outside starters Eli Apple and Donte Jackson struggle again, then Thomas-Oliver could conceivably get called up to start along with fourth-rounder Troy Pride. Thomas-Oliver’s length and tenacity should serve him well if that happens.
