It would not be NFL draft day without one last massive rumor to potentially blow things up.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported the Carolina Panthers came away "very intrigued" following their predraft meeting with Anthony Richardson after he made a "strong impression" in interviews.

The Panthers are still widely expected to take Alabama's Bryce Young with the top overall pick, but if they choose to throw the draft into a state of chaos, it appears Richardson—not C.J. Stroud—may be the best bet.
