Offensive Tackle

Brady Christensen

No. 70 · 6th season

Five positions, one team that keeps calling back

The Carolina Panthers brought Brady Christensen back. That's the short version. The longer one is worth a moment.

Christensen came to Carolina as a third-round pick in 2023, a tackle in college who was always going to be asked to do more in the pros. He has done more — all five positions along the offensive line, the full width of the front five. That kind of versatility is either a great compliment or a quiet signal that a team hasn't found you a permanent home. Probably both.

The road hasn't been clean. Roster shuffles, injuries — the usual turbulence that chews through young linemen before they get a real foothold. He has been through the cycle and come out the other side with his name still on a contract.

What this re-signing says, quietly, is that Carolina still sees something to build on. A player who can line up anywhere on the offensive line is hard to replace, even if he's never quite settled at one spot. That value doesn't show up in highlights, but coaches count it.

Now comes the part where the versatility either becomes a permanent role or finally narrows into something that's just his.
