The Carolina Panthers enter the 2023 season with a rebuilt wide receiving core. Gone is DJ Moore. Gone is Robbie Anderson. Veterans Adam Thielen, DJ Chark, and Damiere Byrd join a group of returnees in Terrace Marshall Jr., Laviska Shenault, and Shi Smith. The team also utilized the draft to help rebuild the position, drafting Ole Miss receiver Jonathan Mingo in the second round.

The top name of the group is Thielen, a former All-Pro and multi-time Pro Bowler. Thielen is coming off of a 700+ yard receiving season but entering the season at 33 years old. How much more does Thielen have to offer? Can he provide more than veteran leadership to the group?

The rest of the group is made up of players that have shown promise but battled through injury or have failed to produce at a consistent level. Considering that and the Panthers starting a rookie quarterback in Bryce Young, do the Panthers have enough receiving talent to aid Young during his rookie season?

What roles will each receiver play in head coach Frank Reich's new system?
