A 3^rd Round Pick from Iowa in 2008, Charles Godfrey started at Free Safety as a rookie and would move to Strong Safety in his third season.  He would play there for three more seasons for the Panthers as a starter, but injuries took him out of action for most of 2013, and he would be released shortly after that.  Godfrey would record 11 Interceptions for the Panthers with five of them coming in 2010.

From UCLA, DeShaun Foster was a 2^nd Round Pick in 2002, and while he never had a 1,000 Rushing Yard season he did have three straight 850 Yard campaigns (2005-07), and in the five years he played for the Panthers he had 3,570 Rushing Yards and another 1,129 from the air.  Foster would have a 33 Yard Rushing Touchdown in Carolina’s Super Bowl XXXVIII loss to the New England Patriots.

A 3^rd Round Pick from the University of Georgia where as a rookie he would take over as the starting Middle Linebacker as a rookie (2002).  Witherspoon would remain at that position for the Panthers for the next three seasons and would record 8.0 Quarterback Sacks with 354 Combined Tackles, and he was part of the stellar 2003 Defense that was ranked second in the NFL.

Already a Super Bowl Champion with the Baltimore Ravens, Jeff Mitchell would play five seasons with the Panthers where he started all 78 games he played at Center.  Mitchell was the anchor of a Carolina O-Line that in 2003 only allowed 23 Sacks and rush for over 2,000 Yards, and his presence was undoubtedly critical to that group.
