Hunt added to Pro Bowl

[Captain Morgan]

One of the Panthers’ best players will go to his first Pro Bowl after an impressive first season in Carolina.

Robert Hunt -- the team’s right guard -- was originally an alternate after missing the initial Pro Bowl roster, but with North Carolina-native Landon Dickerson going to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, Hunt is stepping in as his replacement.

In 16 games this season, Hunt gave up only 2.5 sacks and was called for holding just one time. He was perhaps Carolina’s most consistent offensive lineman all season long, and brought a personality and sense of leadership that radiated throughout the locker room.

The Panthers signed the 28-year-old to a massive five-year, $100 million contract this past offseason, and one year into the deal, it seems to have already paid dividends for Carolina.

With Panthers guard Robert Hunt added to the Pro Bowl Games today, it marks the first time since 2021 the Panthers have had two Pro Bowlers. 

(I mean, unless you count that year when Christian McCaffrey spent the second half of the year in SF.)

Woo Hoo! I'll be there with my family, we're looking forward to it.

Great signing, I dare say given the lack of hits in FA, this one already is close to the best in history....

 

Just to add Damien Lewis deserves the Pro Bowl as well. He either played just as good or better plus he was playing with severe elbow injury most of the year. He could have stopped at any any point, old school tough men still exist......

Another great signing too, even with me not agreeing to spend space at OG.....

I remember when some people were complaining that we overpaid. Remember that?

I'm one of them and still stand by what I said. Draft guards, pay tackles. IOL is one of the easiest positions to fill in the 2nd,3rd and 4th rounds.

 Me too, but both played great. 

Honestly around the league teams have been stepping up to pay OGs. Jags started part of when they made Norwell the highest paid OG. They get more money than C, TE, RB, LB, NB, and S.

The QBs who end up going now as alternates are ridiculous. Tyler Huntley a couple of years ago and Drake Maye this year.
