Haynes King secures spot on Carolina Panthers 53-man roster

The Carolina Panthers finalized their 53-man roster on Sunday, placing former Texas A&M quarterback Haynes King on the team as the third-string option. King earned his position following a strong preseason showing, highlighted by a standout performance during the Hall of Fame Game against the Arizona Cardinals. In that game, the former Georgia Tech passer recorded 219 total yards and three touchdowns, including a late scoring run. Although he missed time late in camp due to a hamstring injury, his athleticism and mobility prompted the organization to retain him rather than risk exposure to the waiver wire. King, who earned a business management degree from Texas A&M, remains part of the team's developmental plans as the season approaches.
