Recently signed Carolina Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow revealed that his 2024 absence from the NFL was because of ulcerative colitis that caused him to drop "to 150 pounds."

Carolina spent two of its eight draft picks on wide receivers in the draft this past weekend, selecting Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan at No. 8 overall, then Jimmy Horn Jr. from Colorado in the sixth round at No. 208 overall. Now, Renfrow will have the opportunity to come in and carve out a role as Bryce Young's security blanket.

Newly signed Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow spent the 2024 season away from football as he dealt with severe weight loss stemming from a bout of ulcerative colitis. The condition was so bad that Renfrow's weight dropped to 150 pounds. The weight loss was a key reason for his decision to take a year off.
