One reason the Panthers brass should feel good about their depth at safety is the arrival of Ole Miss defensive back Myles Hartsfield. He made headlines recently by taking reps at running back but he wouldn’t have made it if they didn’t like what they saw from him on defense. He can also line up cornerback, offering even more positional value. We were projecting that Hartsfield would make the practice squad. However, it’s possible he winds up getting significant playing time as a rookie. Hartsfield is one of three undrafted free agents who made the team.
