Carolina Panthers har netop annonceret, at de har skrevet kontrakt med den tidligere Georgia Tech-kvæterback Haynes King. Aftalen er indgået som en udraftet free agent, hvilket betyder, at King ikke blev valgt i NFL-draften i april.
Ifølge NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero vil King modtage 250.000 dollars i garanteret løn som en del af kontrakten med Panthers. Den 25-årige kvæterback har tidligere været på prøvetræning hos holdet under forberedelserne til draften.
King har en solid college-karriere bag sig. Efter at have skiftet fra Texas A&M til Georgia Tech blev han en nøglespiller i tre år som startende kvæterback. I sidste sæson præsterede han med 252 fuldførte afleveringer ud af 361 forsøg, hvilket resulterede i 2.951 yards, 14 touchdowns og blot seks interceptions. Derudover viste han sig også som en effektiv løber med 185 forsøg for 953 yards og 15 touchdowns.
Panthers har i år allerede hentet Kenny Pickett og Will Grier som free agents for at styrke kvæterback-positionen. Tidligere på året blev tidligere reservekvæterback Andy Dalton byttet til Philadelphia Eagles.
