2020 NFL draft: Panthers FaceTime with Stanford EDGE prospect

The Panthers are doing their diligence on some of this year’s top EDGE prospects. Already, they have held FaceTime meetings with Florida’s Jonathan Greenard and Michigan State’s Kenny Willekes. We can now add another name to that list.

According to Justin Melo at Draft Wire, the team held another video meeting with Stanford outside linebacker Casey Toohill.

EDGE Casey Toohill has spoken to 20+ teams since the combine (tied w/ Simmons & Gay as most athletic LB via NextGen). Look for him to get drafted early Day 3.

He has scored very high athletically compared to other linebackers in this draft class. At the combine, he posted a 39 inch vertical leap to go with a 4.21 second 20-yard shuttle.

Toohill (6-foot-4, 247 pounds) was redshirted as a freshman and had to work his way up the rotation. Eventually, he earned himself a significant role and he had a breakout season in 2019, posting career highs with 57 tackles, eight sacks and 11.5 tackles for a loss.

Let’s take a look at his college tape.
