Why the Carolina Panthers interior offensive line should be dramatically improved in 2024

The injury bug hit no position harder than it did the Carolina Panthers interior offensive line in 2023. The Panthers played seven different left guards and eight different right guards thanks in large part to the injuries to returning starters Austin Corbett and Brady Christensen. Corbett and Christensen played nearly every snap during the 2022 season but weren't on the field for a single play together last fall. The pair combined to play in only five games. Each will have a different role this fall, as Austin Corbett is prepared to make the transition to center. While Corbett has never played a single snap at center in the NFL, could he prove to be the long-awaited answer at the position?While Corbett will be starting at center, Christensen is set to back him up at the position and be the primary back up at guard. The Panthers spent $153 million in free agency to sure up the starting guard spots by signing Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis. Considering the investment made, are Hunt and Lewis the keys to the offensive lines success in 2024?Julian Council continues his annual positional breakdowns by examining the Panthers interior offensive line. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
