Kris Jenkins would win the starting Right Defensive Tackle position early in his rookie season (2001), and the former Maryland Terrapin would hold it until he was traded to the New York Jets in 2008.  Jenkins would be a three-time Pro Bowl Selection with Carolina, and in his first two, he was also named a First Team All-Pro and was one of the better run stuffers in the league.  Had injuries not held him to only five games in 2004 and 2005 his ranking would undoubtedly be higher.

Jake Delhomme bided his time with the New Orleans Saints, but he was never meant to see an opportunity in the Bayou.  The Quarterback would sign with the Carolina Panthers before the 2003 campaign and would not just win the starting job with Carolina but would become one of the better pivots of the game.

Muhsin Muhammad would become the 29^th member of the 10,000 Receiving Yards Club, and he would accrue 9,255 of his 11,438 Yards as a Panther.  

Jordan Gross played all 11 of his seasons in the National Football League with the Carolina Panthers where he played at Right Tackle as a rookie.  The former 1^st Round Pick would move to Left Tackle, which was where he would play for a decade.  He became the anchor of the Offensive Line and would go to three Pro Bowls (2008, 2010 & 2013) and was a First Team All-Pro in 2008.  Gross would start all 167 games he played.
