Here is what Panthers head coach Frank Reich about the recent decision to part ways with Throckmorton:
“Hard decision,” Reich said, per Anthony Rizzuti of Panthers Wire. “Throck did a good job as a veteran comin’ in here. Very dependable, very smart player. Chandler [Zavala] had been our starter and he got injured and we’re developin’ young guys the whole time. Hey, you never know how this league works out, Throck could be back here sooner rather than later. You never know how things go. But love the contribution that he made and the person he is.”
According to Pro Football Focus, Throckmorton has played a total of 508 snaps and allowed 16 pressures but no sacks, and he’s only accounted for one penalty.
