Charleston Rambo makes free agency decision

“Former Miami and Oklahoma wide receiver Charleston Rambo is set to sign an undrafted free agent deal with the Carolina Panthers,” stated On3’s Matt Zenitz following the draft’s conclusion.

Rambo played his first three seasons with the Oklahoma Sooners, where he caught 76 passes for 1,180 yards and nine touchdowns. His usage in Oklahoma’s offense declined in his third year, and he transferred to the Miami Hurricanes for the 2021 season. His final season saw him match his production across the first three years — catching 79 passes for 1,172 yards and seven touchdowns.

The draft took center stage in Las Vegas as the first five players selected were all defensive stars. The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Travon Walker from Georgia with the number one overall pick of the draft. After him, in order — Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan, Derek Stingley Jr. of LSU, Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner of Cincinnati and Kayvon Thibodeaux of Oregon.

The first wide receiver selected was USC’s Drake London, picked by Atlanta with the eighth overall pick. The first quarterback selected was Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett, who will stay in Pittsburgh with the Steelers after being drafted 20th overall.

Day one of the draft saw a record number of trades, as nine trades were made in the first round alone — the most ever in the first round since it moved to its own day in 2010. It was also the first time no offensive players were drafted in the first five picks of the draft since 1991.
