Panthers claim two off waivers, adding a cornerback and receiver
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers claimed a pair of players off waivers Wednesday afternoon, filling a need and adding another developmental receiver to the roster.
The Panthers claimed former Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis and former Chargers wide receiver Dalevon Campbell.
Mathis, a former fourth-round pick in 2022 out of Pitt, has appeared in 43 games with 18 starts.
Of that experience, 11 of the starts came in 2022 for the Broncos, when Panthers coordinator Ejiro Evero was there.
Campbell, an undrafted rookie from South Carolina, had good numbers in camp with the Chargers this summer.
In three preseason games with the Chargers, he caught seven passes for 135 yards (19.3 per reception).
Campbell played three years at Illinois and two at Nevada before finishing at South Carolina last year, where he caught 12 passes for 312 yards (26.0 per reception).
The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the Gamecocks' pro day.
Last year, the Panthers claimed six players off waivers on the first day, when they had the first spot in claim order. None remain on the current roster, but three were part of Tuesday's cuts to the initial 53-man roster.

And, yes, as a Gamecocks fan I am very familiar with Dalevon (pronounced Dale-Von) Campbell. He went undrafted but I was surprised he wasn't a late round pick.
Dalevon is a DOWNFIELD THREAT. He goes up and gets the contested balls. I'm not going to say he's the type of route runner that Jalen Coker is, but he could be the next "Undrafted Rookie Story" we hear about this season.
