13. Greg Olsen

After four seasons with the Chicago Bears, Greg Olsen was traded to the Carolina Panthers where he had by far his greatest success.  The Tight End would go to three Pro Bowls, and in all of those years seeing him accrue over 1,000 Receiving Yards.  Olsen would be a Second Team All-Pro in two of those years (2015 & 2016) and he accumulated 6,463 Receiving Yards and 39 TDs.  The former 7th Floor Crew member was a large part of the Panthers making it to Super Bowl 50.
Mike Minter would play his entire professional football career with the Carolina Panthers where he was a 1997 2nd Round Pick from the University of Nebraska, and the Cornhusker would quickly become the starting Free Safety and later Strong Safety, a position he would patrol from 1999 to 2006.  Minter would record 17 Interceptions for a franchise-high 421 Interception Return Yards, 4 of which were brought back for a Touchdown.  He would also notably record 18 Tackles in the Panthers' loss to New England in the 2003 Super Bowl.

Steve Beuerlein bounced around the NFL in stints with the Los Angeles Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, and Jacksonville Jaguars before landing in Carolina where he would have the best run of his NFL career.

18. Jon Beason

A 1st Round Pick in 2007 from the University of Miami, Jon Beason was a starting Linebacker immediately and was a Pro Bowl selection in his sophomore year in the NFL after being the runner-up for the Defensive Rookie of the Year.  That year, Beason was a First Team All-Pro and went to three straight Pro Bowls and was the league leader in Solo Tackles.
