The Carolina Panthers selected tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders from Texas with the 101st pick during the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, marking the opening selection of Day 3. Sanders, noted for his receiving capabilities and a Next Gen Stats draft score of 81, is expected to enhance the Panthers' offensive strategy by providing a significant receiving threat.
