Two former Texas A&M defenders make the initial 53-man roster for the Carolina Panthers

Final NFL Roster cutdowns for the 2024 season have been completed, and a pair of former Texas A&M football players have made the initial 53-man roster for the Carolina Panthers. 2022 UFDA DL Jayden Peevy and 2024 UDFA safety Demani Richardson will be teammates for the time being after both being retained during the final cuts.

While it’s still early, all of the teams in the NFL are bound to do more roster churning as teams raid free agency. Richardson has received praise throughout camp from his teammates and is showing signs of returning for his All-SEC form.

“He moves really well. I know he was playing a lot of like kind of big nickel in college and I definitely see those cover skills. We’ve been seeing his ball skills in the past couple of days, too. I mean, there’s not too many things that DeMoni can’t do on the football field. So I’m really excited to see what he does next,” – Jordan Fuller

Peevy has spent the majority of his professional career on the practice squads of the Tennessee Titans , Cleveland Browns , and the Carolina Panthers . His size and athletic ability make him an interesting piece on the roster in some capacity. As mentioned earlier, there are still several transactions that will be made across the league, but for now, join us in congratulating these two for making an NFL roster.
