LSU defensive lineman Michael Brockers is visiting the Carolina Panthers tonight, according to his agent, Albert Elias. Brockers is having dinner tonight with the Panthers' coaching staff and is scheduled to meet with personnel department officials Friday. The Panthers own the ninth overall pick of the first round, and Brockers is projected as a potential target for the NFC South franchise. Of the draft prospects projected for the top 10 picks of the first round, this is believed to be the earliest official visit. An imposing defensive prospect at 6-foot-6, 322 pounds, Brockers ran the 40-yard dash in 5.36 seconds at the NFL scouting combine and posted a 26 1/2 inch vertical leap. Source: Scout.com
