CHARLOTTE, NC - Several sources are reporting the Carolina Panthers have signed four undrafted free agents.

On Twitter, North Carolina Tar Heels cornerback Kendric Burney said he's "staying home" before clarifying: "Panther nation."

Many believe Burney could make a play for a nickel job. He's productive, a hard tackler, a hard worker and a smart player. His instincts and recognition graded among the top 10 cornerbacks in the 2011 class on our board. He's a playmaker, bringing in 11 career interceptions.

However, several sites have cited the biggest knock is that Burney is just 5'8 3/8" tall.

Undrafted free agent and former Auburn Tiger center Ryan Pugh will join the Carolina Panthers, according to reports. The former four-star recruit tweeted the news late Monday night.

In Carolina, Pugh will be reunited with quarterback Cam Newton. At six-foot one-inch, 307 pounds, Pugh was selected as an AP Third Team All-American for his work during the Tigers' championship run.

Pugh was projected as the 18th best center out of the 49 in the 2010 draft.

Another Tiger, Auburn wide receiver Darvin Adams will also head to camp with the Panthers.  He's is 6'3" tall and weighs approximately 185 pounds.He was hailed as one of the Southeastern Conference's best wide receivers.

The Panthes have also reportedly signed Nebraska kicker Adi Kunalic.
