Even in the middle of their pro day parade, the Carolina Panthers got some business done—or at least got it out there. First, it was with new offensive assistant Michael Bercovich and now, it’s with new defensive assistant Mayur Chaudhari.
Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, the team has hired the former Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers coach to their staff.
Before hitting the sidelines of the NFL, Chaudhari spent nearly two decades at the college level. He served in numerous roles—from video coordinator to special teams coordinator—for Hawaii, Lenoir-Rhyne, Army West Point, U.S. Military Academy Prep School, Virginia Military Institute, San Jose State, UC Davis, Stanford and Menlo College between 1998 and 2017.
Chaudhari would be hired by the Falcons as a special teams assistant coach in 2018, a stint that lasted three seasons. He then moved on to the Chargers for the 2021 campaign in the same role and was dismissed in January of 2022.
