The Carolina Panthers are projected to select University of South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers with the 11th overall pick in a 2027 mock draft. Sources indicate that the pick reflects the team's uncertainty about their current quarterback, Bryce Young, who will need to show significant progress in the upcoming season. Sellers, who stands at 6'3" and weighs 240 pounds, has drawn comparisons to former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. His college performance has shown inconsistency, but flashes of brilliance could make him a valuable option for the Panthers if they seek a change at quarterback.
- •Sellers had a standout 2024 season with 2,534 passing yards and 18 touchdowns.
- •His performance dipped in 2025 with lower completion rates and rushing stats.
- •Selection of Sellers indicates potential doubts about Bryce Young's future with the team.
- •Panthers have the option to keep Young under a fifth-year option in 2027.
