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 1st 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 2nd 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.
As of this writing, Mike Rucker is only one of three Carolina Panthers to record over 50 Quarterback Sacks for the team, which he accomplished over an eight-year career, which was all with the Panthers.  The Defensive End was a 1999 2nd Round Pick from the University of Nebraska and would become a starter in his third season.  Rucker would have two straight two-digit Sack seasons (2002 & 2003), with the latter seeing named to the Pro Bowl.  He would also be named the NFL Alumni Defensive LIneman of the Year that season.
