The Carolina Panthers have been going through a serious rebuilding process since October when they fired head coach Matt Rhule and traded star running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers.
They recently hired Frank Reich, who used to coach the Indianapolis Colts, to be their new head coach, and now they’ve added Shawn Jefferson as their wide receivers coach.

Jefferson spent many years as an NFL coach, dating back to 2006 when the Detroit Lions hired him as an offensive assistant.
Since then, he has served as a receivers coach for the Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals.
At the time, Jefferson spent 13 seasons as a player in the NFL, and he was a fairly productive wide receiver who finished his career with 7,023 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns.
He appeared in two Super Bowls, first in 1994 as a member of the San Diego Chargers and in 1996 with the New England Patriots.
In Carolina, Jefferson will be looking to maximize players like DJ Moore, who is arguably their most powerful weapon going forward.
Of course, after Baker Mayfield hasn’t worked this season, the team will have to find its franchise quarterback of the future.
Sam Darnold has started the Panthers’ final six games of the season, but it’s pretty safe to say that after five disappointing pro seasons, the former University of Southern California star won’t make it as a flag-caller. a team hoping to make the playoffs.
