The Carolina Panthers signed several former Temple players in free agency this year. That list included linebacker Tahir Whitehead, wide receiver Robby Anderson, quarterback P.J. Walker, wide receiver Keith Kirkwood and tight end Colin Thompson.
This led to a lot of speculation that Carolina would have a draft class heavy on players who had previously worked with Matt Rhule. Some analysts toyed with the idea of an all Baylor/Temple mock draft.
In the end, Rhule only picked one prospect who he coached last season: Baylor defensive tackle Bravvion Roy, who was picked in the sixth round. Watch Roy get the call from his former/current coach on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL draft.
Roy is a true nose tackle who will likely serve as the main backup behind first-round pick Derrick Brown.
