The Panthers skipped Mac Jones’ pro day earlier this week but they are present for Zach Wilson’s throwing session today at BYU.
According to Albert Breer at Sports Illustrated, coach Matt Rhule and general manager Scott Fitterer are among the NFL heavyweights who will be watching Wilson throw.
Zach Wilson Day! Those in Provo …
• Falcons GM Terry Fontenot, HC Arthur Smith, OC Dave Ragone.
• Panthers GM Scott Fitterer, OC Joe Brady.
• Broncos GM George Paton, QBs coach Mike Shula.
• Eagles OC Shane Steichen, QBs coach Brian Johnson.
• Jags OC Darrell Bevell.

Wilson will likely be off the board by the time the Panthers are on the clock next month. Most mock drafts have him going to the Jets at No. 2 overall after the Jaguars select Trevor Lawrence.
That said, anything can happen between now and draft day and there’s always a chance he drops. Carolina might also consider trading up for Wilson given the possibility that all four of this year’s top QB prospects could be gone by No. 8.
