Football Players who Played for Rams and Panthers
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Rams and Panthers.
Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield was selected 1st overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft after winning the Heisman Trophy in 2017 while at the University of Oklahoma. He then won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018.
Mayfield was been credited with bringing renewed energy and competitiveness to the Browns franchise, helping them make the playoffs in the 2020 NFL season for the first time since 2002.
However, injuries hurt his production during the end of his time in Cleveland and he was subsequently traded to the Panthers. Mayfield has bounced around a bit since then, fighting for another starting quarterback role.

Ricky Proehl
Ricky Proehl was selected by the Phoenix Cardinals in the third round, 58th overall, in the 1990 NFL Draft. During his lengthy 17-year career, he played for several teams, including the Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Carolina Panthers, and Indianapolis Colts.
Proehl’s most productive seasons came with the Rams, where he was part of the “Greatest Show on Turf” and won Super Bowl XXXIV. He also played a crucial role in the Panthers’ run to Super Bowl XXXVIII. Known for his reliable hands and precise route-running, Proehl was often a go-to target in clutch situations.
By the time he retired, he had accumulated 669 receptions for 8,878 yards and 54 touchdowns. His consistent performance and leadership on and off the field made him a respected figure in the league.
Steve Bono
Steve Bono is probably best remembered for his time with the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. However, Bono spent 15 years in the NFL playing for seven different teams: the Vikings, Steelers, 49ers, Chiefs, Packers, Rams, and Panthers.
After being selected in the sixth round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings, Bono had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches and players in the league. For example, he joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1989, where he had the chance to learn from Hall of Fame QBs Joe Montana and Steve Young.
In 1995, Bono became the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. That year, he led the Chiefs to a 13-3 record and a first-place finish in the AFC West. His performance earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl.

Cortland Finnegan
Cortland Finnegan was drafted in the seventh round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. Finnegan quickly made a name for himself as a hard-nosed, aggressive cornerback. He earned Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro honors in 2008 while with the Titans.
Over his career, Finnegan played for the Titans, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, and Carolina Panthers. He was known for his physical play and his ability to get into the heads of opponents, which sometimes led to on-field altercations.
Finnegan amassed over 600 tackles, 18 interceptions (4 of those returned for touchdowns), and 5 forced fumbles during his NFL career, which spanned 10 seasons.
