The Carolina Panthers are back

The Carolina Panthers held their annual Fan Fest on Friday, and it was certainly fun to see them on the field again. In what was a sold-out event, the Panthers certainly put on a show for the fans. It was great to see the fans excited, and the buzz leading up to the event was palpable. Everyone is excited that football is starting again, and for good reason. It has certainly felt like a long offseason. Now, it is time to get things going.

The stars were out in full force on Friday. Everyone from Curtis Samuel to DJ Moore to Cam Newton were participating in the event. Some additional bigger names were held out for health purposes, but in some capacity, the whole team was there. It is always better to take care of the injuries now anyway. You certainly want all hands on deck for the start of the season.

Three particular things stood out to me about Fan Fest, and I take a look at why they stood out to me and what they could mean for the Carolina Panthers down the road. Do not worry, it is all good news. The Carolina Panthers definitely appear to be headed in the right direction.
