Corner: B-

A definite weak spot a year ago is trending in the right direction this season. Both starting cornerbacks James Bradberry and Daryl Worley are showing signs of improvement with their experience.

Bradberry laid a solid tackle on running back Derek Henry, who repeatedly ran through the first-team defense, despite giving up two inches and over 25-pounds to the Titans running back. His pass coverage has been on point all camp and if he continues to offer similar run support, Bradberry is primed for an impressive sophomore season.

Teddy Williams led the unit with eight tackles on the afternoon in extended playing time as the Panthers coaching staff tries to decide which defensive backs will make the final roster.
