87. . DE. Clemson. Kevin Dodd. 30. player

The Denver Broncos beat the Panthers with their pass rush and pass defense, and the NFL is a copycat league.

The return of Charles Johnson was key to keeping Carolina’s defense where it needs to be, but he’s on his last days of his NFL career and he isn’t the only one.

Preparing for the future means getting the youth and talent into the wings waiting to make their move to the starting lineup.  Kevin Dodd from Clemson is a defensive end from a National Championship contender who knows what it means to succeed at the highest level and how it feels to lose on the biggest stage.

His effort and raw talent will give the Panthers a rotational threat to keep their pass rush going for the entire game, and when it’s his time, he’ll give the team a rush end needed to keep their defense among the best.
