2025 Fantasy Outlook
Umanmielen, a 2025 third-round pick from Ole Miss, was a standout pass rusher during his final college season, ranking second in the SEC with 10.5 sacks over 12 games. He ran a 4.72 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 244 pounds at the combine, showcasing both athleticism and versatility to strengthen a previously weak Carolina pass-rush unit. Don't be surprised if Umanmielen earns more playing time as the season progresses and becomes more familiar with Ejiro Evero's defensive scheme. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $6.35 million contract with the Panthers in May of 2025.
