King made this roster because the athleticism is real and his passing growth showed up when the lights came on. He is still a developmental quarterback, but the fast decisions and scrambling ability give the Panthers a fun third-option profile.
Strengths: Earned 53-man role, dual-threat production, Hall of Fame Game heroics, maturity, and quick decision-making.
Weaknesses: Undrafted rookie still learning NFL coverage and protection complexity, with limited regular-season opportunity behind two veterans.
