The Carolina Panthers have officially added another piece to their roster in the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Cam Jackson as revealed in their latest social media announcement.
Panthers Add Cam Jackson To Their Roster
“The pick is in… @camjackson_10 is joining the @panthers,” the team announced on their official Instagram account, confirming their latest draft selection. The announcement was accompanied by an image of Jackson in what appears to be his draft moment, showing the prospect in formal attire as he prepares to join his new NFL team.
This selection continues what has been an active draft for Carolina as they look to rebuild and strengthen their roster after a challenging season. Jackson joins a growing list of young talents the Panthers are bringing in as they reshape their team under their current leadership.
Building Through The Draft
The Panthers have been particularly busy during this draft period, making several key selections before landing Jackson. Their social media has been actively documenting each pick, showcasing their strategic approach to this year’s draft class.
Prior to Jackson’s selection, Carolina announced they were “Building in the trenches,” indicating a focus on offensive and defensive line talent. They also highlighted the addition of an unnamed “Buckeye” player who “brings the BOOM,” suggesting they’ve drafted at least one other Ohio State product known for powerful play.
The team has been methodically addressing needs across both sides of the ball. One post celebrated a defensive addition with “Another 🧩 to the D,” while another announced the “Newest addition to the offense,” demonstrating Carolina’s balanced draft approach.
Panthers’ Draft Strategy
Carolina’s draft strategy appears to be focusing on acquiring proven talent from successful college programs. One of their selections was described as a “Proven Winner,” highlighting the team’s emphasis on bringing in players with winning pedigrees.
The Panthers also added safety Lathan Ransom, as indicated in a post captioned “Dreams to Reality,” which noted “The next piece to the 🧩 for the @panthers is @lathanransom.” This selection from Ohio State continues Carolina’s apparent connection to the Buckeyes program in this draft class.
The team seems to be placing particular emphasis on defensive reinforcements, with multiple posts highlighting defensive additions. This aligns with the Panthers’ needs after struggling on both sides of the ball last season.
Panthers’ Rebuilding Efforts
The Carolina Panthers, established in 1993 as the NFL’s 29th franchise, are in the midst of a significant rebuilding phase. After finishing with a league-worst 2-15 record in the 2023 season, the team is clearly focused on using the draft to acquire young talent across multiple positions.
Prior to the draft, the Panthers shared their “Scheduled picks for tomorrow,” giving fans insight into when they would be making selections. The team’s transparent approach to the draft process has kept their fanbase engaged throughout the event.
The addition of Cam Jackson follows other notable selections, including what appears to be an early offensive line pick that the team highlighted with particular enthusiasm.
Looking Ahead
For Jackson, this represents the culmination of years of hard work and the beginning of his professional football journey. The Panthers will be looking for him to develop and contribute to their rebuilding efforts as they aim to improve upon last season’s performance.
The Panthers’ draft class of 2025, including Jackson, will report to the team for rookie minicamp in the coming weeks, followed by participation in the team’s offseason program as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season.
With each selection, including Jackson, the Panthers continue their methodical approach to rebuilding through the draft, hoping these young players will form the core of a more competitive team in the seasons ahead.
