Which Panthers player is most likely to make his 1st Pro Bowl this season?

2021 was a particularly special season for Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns—because it was the first season he was selected to play alongside the game’s very best. So, which of his teammates is next?

Around the NFL writer Nick Shook took a swing at determining that, as he picked one player from each of the league’s 32 teams that is most likely to make their first Pro Bowl. For the Panthers, he takes another young defensive stud—safety Jeremy Chinn.

Chinn is certainly a worthy selection for Carolina—who does have quite a few other potential candidates on the roster. In fact, all but six guys (Burns, running back Christian McCaffrey, linebacker Cory Littleton, returner Andre Roberts, punter Johnny Hekker and long snapper JJ Jansen) have never gotten a nod.

Some notable Panthers who have yet to make a Pro Bowl include wideouts DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson, offensive tackle Taylor Moton and linebacker Shaq Thompson. And they have a few more—defensive tackle Derrick Brown, linebacker Frankie Luvu and cornerback Jaycee Horn—who could break out for one this season as well.

But, the man of this particular hour is Chinn, whose special and versatile skill set should make for an all-star mix in the near future.
