Why do the Charlotte Panthers refuse to draft any players

from Clemson? It's almost as if they go out of their way to avoid drafting quality players from Clemson just to say they are the ONLY NFL team that has yet to draft one of our players.

I don't get it.

I don't get why they're the only NFL team that HASN'T drafted a Clemson player. They should just stop calling themselves the "Carolina" Panthers---they don't represent the Carolinas. And I wouldn't call it an obsession......I'd call it an observation that numerous NFL draft scouts brought up this year.

The only Carolina that team attaches their name to is North Carolina ONLY. I never become a fan of theirs, and I never will. I wish only losing for the Carolina Pussssy Cats of North Carolina!!!

I am perfectly content with Clemson player being drafted elsewhere by teams with better management and coaching.

I grew up in Charlotte and tepidly pull for the Panthers, but the fact that they've avoided Clemson in the draft and only rarely had a Tiger on the roster has made it hard for me to really get totally behind the team. A few more CU players might get me to go out and buy a T-shirt or something, who knows?

At this point it seems like the Panthers are deliberately avoiding Clemson players, which is weird given the history of the team and the number of Clemson fans in their footprint.

It's simple if you try...

For Panthers fans (I am not a fan), they would like to see a few players from their favorite college team on the Panthers roster. At this point the omission is glaring.

But why would college football fans that really love their football and follow former players’ careers want to have them on a nearby NFL team? I just don’t get it.

In all honesty they’re likely not “refusing” Clemson players. It just so happens they haven’t done so. Also, Clemson players have been picking up the reputation of being “culture” guys. Not really having all the NFL tools, but having more of the character.

This is what you deal with at Clemson.

never felt the slightest connection to the Panthers, even though they played in The Valley and are the closest NFL team to me. I grew up a Cowboys fan because of Charlie Waters, and a Falcons fan because they were a southern team nearby and I had relatives in ATL and we went to a lot of games. Yet, absolutely nothing has ever drawn me to the Panthers. Maybe they will eventually get some players I really like or I can find some reason to pull for them ... we'll see.

I've sort of begun to follow the Jaguars.......though I wasn't thrilled with their draft this year I don't think they brought in enough help for TL on the offensive line.

For most of the Panther existence Mark Richardson was President of the team or a high ranking official. With all the money he donates to Clemson I am sure he would have pushed to draft a Clemson player if he felt it was beneficial to the team. Having said that it has puzzled me a little why they have not drafted any Clemson players.

This story begins in Pickens County, SC; it's late November in the year 1992. The former NFL TE, CEO of Flagstar and soon to be owner of the NFL's newest franchise is suffering from painful back spasms and in dire need of a "massage therapist"....

I don’t support or have any use for the North Carolina panthers. The franchise is a joke.

Clemson doesn’t hold water. For the first 25 years or so of the franchise’s existence it was co-owned by a former Clemson football player and current BOT member Mark Richardson, and their current president is also a Clemson grad. Maybe they’re just really bad at scouting?

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The Panthers suck.


May 1, 2023, 12:59 PM

But that's not why. There isn't some grand conspiracy to not draft Clemson players.

of a particular Clemson player to fill a particular need at a particular time...to be particular about it.

Richardson's connections to Clemson could have him being overly cautious, so as not to show any favoritism, in discussions about draft prospects.

Who knows, although it does seem a little strange that no Clemson players have ever been drafted by the Panthers.

I believe it all comes down to beer sales. The Panthers wanted to sell beer the first year in Death Valley and Clemson said no.
