2026 Outlook
Monroe Freeling was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the first round (2026) out of Georgia to address critical left tackle depth. The 6'7", 325-pound tackle brings exceptional physical traits, including excellent footwork and agility for his size. Despite limited college starting experience (18 total starts at Georgia), his athleticism has impressed coaches. Freeling is competing against veteran Rasheed Walker for the starting left tackle position—a critical role for protecting QB Bryce Young's blindside in a make-or-break 2026 season. While Walker's NFL experience may give him the edge initially, Freeling's physical upside and rapid development could see him seize the starting role if his pass-blocking translates quickly to the NFL (per Biggest Position Battles That Will Define Panthers Minicamp)
