The Panthers invited undrafted quarterback Kevin Thomson to try out at this week’s rookie minicamp, according to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network. Thomson (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) had an eventful amateur career, playing at three different schools: Sacramento State, UNLV and Washington.
Overcoming injuries has been a theme with Thomson, who was expected to start for the Huskies last seaason but suffered an undisclosed injury and lost the job to Dylan Morris. He has also had issues with his back and a Tommy John surgery. Now 26 years old, the 2021 season would have been his eighth year of college eligibility, which he’s forgoing.
Thomson’ primary competition will most likely come from Northwestern QB Peyton Ramsey, one of several undrafted free agents that Carolina is reportedly signing. Other quarterbacks who are in the mix for a spot at the bottom end of the depth chart include Tommy Stevens and Will Grier.
