Panasiuk went unselected in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Michigan State and first signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. He went on to play for the Carolina Panthers, but never stepped on the field during the regular season.

During his time with the Spartans in college, Panasiuk was named an honorable mention for the All-Big Ten team twice and landed as a second-team All-Big Ten team in 2018. He was a defensive tackle in college, amassing 100 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, six pass deflections, four sacks, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one block in 51 games.

The UFL has had over 60 players signed NFL contracts this offseason.
