Corn Elder
Elder (5-foot-10, 185 pounds) brings back many not-so-great memories to the minds of Panthers fans, but he has a legitimate chance to see substantial playing time given the lack of experience in the secondary. Elder played in 13 games for Carolina in 2018, starting none of them and failing to put together any sort of meaningful performance on defense. Although he balled out during his time at Miami, he hasn’t been able to translate that success to the next level.
Elder wouldn’t be in the conversation with the coaching staff that released him in 2019, but with Rhule coming in, his chances dramatically rise if he can prove himself. Like Pride, Elder also has a shot to see playing time in the slot.
