IPL 2026: Why concussion sub for a shoulder injury? Mahela Jayawardene explains
IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians' concussion substitute sparks debate.
The Carolina Panthers selected offensive tackle Monroe Freeling with the 19th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, receiving positive reactions from fans and team officials. General manager Dan Morgan praised Freeling's talent, while quarterback Bryce Young expressed excitement about his new teammate.
On Thursday night, the Carolina Panthers used the 19th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on University of Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling. And it's safe to say that the organization is rather content with their decision. President of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan said the second-team All-SEC member was simply too good to pass up. Head coach Dave Canales is excited to get the 21-year-old blocker into the fold to compete. Heck, we even learned that quarterback Bryce Young is amped up about his new 6-foot-7, 315-pound bodyguard. But how is the Carolina faithful feeling about their team's latest first-round pick? Are they looking forward to having a promising hog molly in the mix, or are they uninspired by the uncertainty of his role for the upcoming campaign? Here are some of the best reactions to the Panthers' selection of Freeling . . .
IM HAPPY

Welcome to the #Panthers, Monroe Freeling! ๐ซต๐ฝ
โ Panthers Culture ๐ฅท๐ฝ (@PanthersCulture) April 24, 2026 Drafting an OL is inherently boring. It just is. To me at least.
But I understand the move for the #Panthers. Makes sense!
Freeling could be a beast.

The Panthers selected Monroe Freeling because general manager Dan Morgan believed he was too talented to pass up, and the team is looking to strengthen their offensive line.
Fans have mixed reactions, with some expressing excitement about Freeling's potential while others find drafting an offensive lineman less thrilling.
If Freeling develops well, he could become a key player in protecting quarterback Bryce Young and contribute significantly to the team's success in upcoming seasons.

โ Freeze (@TheeBigJoker) April 24, 2026 Monroe pick was like buying new tires... Was there something else you'd rather spend your money on? Sure, but this was a smart move long term...
โ Jordan (@Jsullhart) April 24, 2026 Iโve had time to reflect, If Monroe works out Bryce has his LT of the future. Dan needs to cook up the rest of the draft cause we need to be a playoff team at minimum next year
