STERLING

Neal Sterling, our 41st ranked tight end, is best suited to be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the Carolina Panthers because they could use a player of this quality to play tight end. The Panthers currently have 4 healthy tight ends, and none are rated better than Sterling.

The Panthers currently have no tight ends under contract beyond the 2026 season, so Sterling may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
