A Seminole, Fla. native and Florida Atlantic University product, Walton cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free agent for the Buffalo Bills in 2020. He'd go on to pick up a stop later that season with the Pittsburgh Steelers , then joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2021 to 2023.
Walton, who had ties with Panthers head coach Dave Canales from his one year as offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay , signed to Carolina's practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign. The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder appeared in four games for the team through 2025, with his most featured outing coming in a 23-snap showing at right guard in this past year's Week 4 loss to the New England Patriots .
