What will the rebuilt Carolina Panthers defense look like in Year 2 under Ejiro Evero?

Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

Much like the Carolina Panthers offense, the Panthers defensive unit went through a minor roster overhaul of its own. The Panthers received big news by way of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and his entire defensive staff staying to be a part of Dave Canales staff. But Evero and company will be working with new faces as Brian Burns, Frankie Luvu, Jeremy Chinn, and Donte Jackson exited Carolina this offseason.

Before placing expectations on the unit in 2024, it's important to look back the defensive performance from a season ago. Julian Council looks at the Panthers 2023 defensive numbers to gauge just how good Evero's unit was last fall.

The Panthers watched a handful of starters leave during free agency, whether via their own volition or the team parting ways. The two biggest names to depart were Brian Burns and Frankie Luvu. Can the Panthers defense be better without the pair?

Overall, what should be expected of the defense in 2024? Did the offensive rebuild come at the expense of the defense? Julian examines that state of the defensive roster.
