A 3^rd Round Pick in 2004 from South Carolina, Travelle Wharton would start 111 of his 115 games for the Carolina Panthers, the only team he would play for in the National Football League, although he was a Cincinnati Bengal for one season however due to injury could not compete.  Wharton was never a Pro Bowl Selection, but there were a couple of seasons (2005 & 2011) where he was likely in the discussion.

Chris Gamble was with the Carolina Panthers for all 123 Games of his nine-season career and the Cornerback would start 117 of them.  A late 1^st Round Pick from Ohio State, the former Buckeye would pick 27 Interceptions from the air, which makes him the all-time franchise leader and he was in the top ten in picks twice over his career.

Charles Johnson played his entire 11-year career with the Carolina Panthers with the last eight of them as a starting Defensive End.  Johnson would exceed the 10 Sack mark three times accumulating a total of 67.5.  Johnson was a member of the team that competed in Super Bowl 50, but while he was on the losing side, he had five tackles and a sack in the game.

Kawann Short played eight seasons with the Carolina Panthers after being drafted in the 2^nd Round from Purdue in 2013.  The former Boilermaker would become one of Carolina's top pass rushers, and in 2015 the starting Right Defensive Tackle would go to his first Pro Bowl where he reached the Quarterback and took him down 11 times.  Short, who also was chosen for a Second Team All-Pro would go to his second Pro Bowl in 2018.  He was released in 2021 after two injury-plagued seasons and would have 32.5 Sacks for the team.
