The Panthers are seeking a high-potential wide receiver who can enhance Bryce Young’s performance in his sophomore season. Dan Morgan is determined to provide Young with the necessary support to succeed, which includes drafting a talented pass-catcher who can bring a new dimension to the offense. One potential option is Malik Washington, a University of Virginia wide receiver who has met with the Panthers twice, including at the NFL Scouting Combine. Despite his lack of physical dominance at 5-foot-9, Washington’s impressive production matches that of top draft prospects. He recorded 110 receptions for 1,426 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning him a first-team All-ACC recognition in the 2023 season. A to Z Sports’ draft big board compares Washington’s skills to Sky Moore and predicts he will be a fourth-round pick, which aligns with the Panthers’ preferences. The Panthers are intrigued by Washington’s potential and are focused on improving the offense by supporting Young.
