Panthers.com reports Carolina Panthers LB Corey Jenkins has been waived from the team.

Class: Sr
School: South Carolina
Conference: SEC
Ht., Wt.: 6'0, 220
40 Time: 4.61
Grade: 3.15

Selected by Miami Dolphins
Round 6, pick 8 (181 overall)
BIO: Garden City Junior College transfer used at both QB and safety last season. Completed 55.6 percent of his throws for 1,334 yards with seven TDs and 10 INTs and also led the team on the ground posting 160-655-4. Collected 10 tackles after seeing duty late in the season in the secondary. Used in a backup role at QB the prior season, throwing only 24 passes yet producing 59-313-1 as a ball carrier. Will be 27 years old when the season roles around next September.

POSITIVES: Athletic prospect still learning to become a football player. At QB displays a nice arm and the ability to make the deep pass, laying the ball in front of receivers and letting them run to it. Strong running the ball, breaks tackles and picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Flashed skill late in the year as a defensive back as a hard hitting safety who kept the play in front of him and flew around the ball.

NEGATIVES: Does not see the field or find the safety as a passer and throws off his back foot. Hesitant in the backfield reacting to the pass and much better versus the run.

ANALYSIS: Needs a lot of time and age is a problem. Looks like a prospect at strong safety or even running back but must make a quick impression.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
