The Carolina Panthers officially announced six additions to their staff for the upcoming 2025 campaign.
Four of those new faces will serve as part of the coaching staff. The group includes Renaldo Hill as secondary coach, AC Carter as outside linebackers coach, Keyshawn Colmon as an offensive assistant and Kevin Peterson as a defensive assistant.
Hill, perhaps the most recognizable name of the bunch, played 10 NFL seasons as a safety. He went on to pick up coaching stints as the assistant defensive backs coach for the Miami Dolphins (2018), the defensive backs coach of the Denver Broncos (2019 to 2020), the defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers (2021 to 2022) and the passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach back in Miami (2023).
Carolina has also hired former Buffalo Bills associate athletic director Denny Kellington as their new vice president of player health and performance. Kellington is best known for helping save the life of safety Damar Hamlin—who experienced an episode of commotio cordis, a rare disruption of heart rhythm, during a Monday night game on Jan. 2, 2023.
He’ll be joined by former Minnesota Vikings strength coach Josh Hingst. Hignst will serve as the Panthers’ new director of performance.
