He was on the verge of quitting football altogether, but his former Clemson coach, Dabo Swinney, convinced him to attempt a comeback.\n\nRaised about four hours from Charlotte, on the coast of South Carolina, and with two national championships won at Clemson, about two and a half hours away, Renfrow decided that his NFL future would be linked to the Panthers.\n\n

I felt really bad those two years, and I felt like I disappointed my teammates a lot. Because I had expectations. I had just signed a new contract [in 2022]. I had a new coaching staff for whom I was going to be perfect. And I was simply a failure.<\/p>Hunter Renfrow<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nDuring preseason training, Renfrow received praise from Carolina’s coaching staff for his ability to run routes and create separation. However, the Panthers, who kept seven receivers, opted for youth in their rebuilding process.\n\nThe team decided on rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. and 23-year-old Brycen Tremayne, a former Stanford star who went undrafted in the 2023 draft by the Washington Commanders.\n\nAdam Thielen, 35, was also retained, although the Minnesota Vikings have shown interest in acquiring the veteran, who played his first 10 seasons in his home state before signing with Carolina in 2023.\n\nThielen, along with Tetairoa McMillan, 2025 first-round pick, and Xavier Legette, 2024 first-round pick, are considered the starters. Behind them are Jalen Coker, David Moore, Tremayne, and Horn.\n\nRenfrow was one of the last cuts and could be a candidate for the practice squad. Currently, he must process what follows, as his focus was entirely on securing a spot on the 53-player roster.\n\n

Honestly, I don’t lie, I haven’t thought about [being cut], because you can’t. If you worry about those things, you don’t get better.<\/p>Hunter Renfrow<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
