2026 Season Opener Countdown: 42 Days Remaining

Here at Cat Scratch Reader we have counted down the final 100 days leading up to the Carolina Panthers season opener by for at least the past ten years. We've always done this by highlighting the current player on the roster whose jersey number matches the day on the countdown. This year, we decided to change that up a bit by counting down our own list of the Top 100 Panthers of all time. This does not correspond to jersey number, does not need to be somebody who wore a jersey, and will in no way be controversial.

#42: S Colin Jones

Well this one just so happens to coincide with the jersey number, as we celebrate former safety/cornerback and special teams player, The Ace That Runs The Place COLIN JONES!
