DE/OLB Za'Darius Smith, Kentucky*
RB Tevin Coleman, Indiana
To add another to list, I'm also seeing a report the Panthers went to Cali to work out Bruin LB Eric Kendricks:
Path to the Draft | NFL.com
"I did linebacker drills and some board work. I thought they both went fine," Kendricks said. "There were different coaches, different teachings, but it was all linebacker stuff, so I thought it went really well. We didn't really go into what they do defensively, but they wanted to see if I understood coverages and could grasp certain concepts."If Kendricks' draft-day call comes from Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman, he'll be paired with one of the NFL's elite linebackers in Luke Kuechly -- a reality not lost on Kendricks. "That would be really cool," said Kendricks, who won the 2014 Butkus Award. "He's obviously a student of the game, and I could learn a lot as a young linebacker coming up."
Everyone wants to play with the Kuech!

That some really good data there though I'm curious how they determine 'interested' from 'very interested'? White vs red roses? Red Lobster or Halls Chop House? Hat tip to Charlie over at Walter for compiling this info though.
So who has been missed? Tim Tebow? Has he been in for a visit yet? lol...please do not start that rumor!
One last visit to highlight is this 2nd or 3rd round tackle prospect:
Panthers Attend Ty Sambrailo’s Pro Day - Carolina - Scout
Even though the Carolina Panthers signed Michael Oher, there is a high probability that the Panthers will be drafting an offensive tackle high in the NFL Draft at the end of April. The Panthers scouts were one of at least ten teams to attend Ty Sambrailo’s Pro Day, per Jake Marsing of Mile High Huddle. Sambrailo did not participate in many drills, only two of six drills to be exact, after he had a strong performance at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.He decided to re-run the 20-yard shuttle and the three-cone drill and improved in both drills. This is impressive considering he finished fifth among offensive tackles at Scouting Combine in the three-cone drill.
I'd love an OT like Humphries or Flowers in the first and this kid in the second.
