3 More Players Panthers Should Bench After Bryce Young
By Joe Summers
3. TE Tommy Tremble
Tommy Tremble hasn't been a problem, per se, catching six passes for 52 yards through three games. However, promising fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders could be a perfect fit for the passing attack with Dalton.
There's a ceiling to what Tremble could be, but Sanders was one of the most promising receiving threats at the position in the draft. With Adam Thielen on the shelf with an injury, this could be the perfect time to see if Sanders can make an impact. His potential is sky-high, having caught 99 passes for 1,295 yards and seven TDs during his college career at Texas.
Tremble, meanwhile, only has 600 total receiving yards in his NFL career. He projects as more of a backup than true starter, giving Sanders the opportunity to steal some snaps moving forward.

Sanders is a stout blocker too, as proven by his work in the Raiders game. Tremble has been in on 71% of the offensive snaps. While Sanders has been in for 51%, including during two-tight end sets, those numbers should flip so Dave Canales can see if the rookie can be a long-term answer.
Tremble can still get involved, but he doesn't have the upside that Sanders does.
