Madden 23 is here, and that means virtual football fans once more have a full season's worth of debates to have, first downs to pick up, and hopefully, more than a few touchdown dances to choreograph. We're breaking down the Madden 23 rosters for all 32 teams, and in this guide, we'll be taking a look at the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers bookended their 2022 offseason with a trade for quarterback Baker Mayfield. In addition to an above-average receiving corps and star running back Christian McCaffrey, Carolina's offense is intriguing for the different modes in Madden. Their defense is certainly a work in progress, though.
