The Carolina Panthers are reportedly adding another fresh face to their coaching staff.
According to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, the team is expected to hire former cornerback Kevin Peterson as a defensive assistant.
Peterson spent this past year as the cornerbacks coach for Colorado State University Pueblo.
Before hitting the sidelines for the ThunderWolves in 2024, Peterson spent the prior season with both the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals as a Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellow.
The ex-defensive back also suited up for the Rams and the Cardinals over his four-year NFL career, with his final campaign coming in 2021. He crossed paths with current Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in 2017 and 2018, when Evero was the safeties coach for Los Angeles.
Peterson is the third reported hire of the offseason for the Panthers. Carolina is also expected to add AC Carter and Renaldo Hill to their defensive coaching staff.
