By Dean Jones
Which players saw their stock rise or fall during the first week of training camp with the Carolina Panthers?
It has been an eventful first week of training camp for the Carolina Panthers. They finally got the chance to take the field together for the first time during an unprecedented offseason of disruption. And this is something that has evidently been a big hit with those on the roster.
Their meticulous planning to ensure a safe camp for staff and players alike has been there for all to see. The Carolina Panthers left no stone unturned regarding COVID-19 precautions. And if this can make a transition to the field, then there is a good chance this group can emerge as a potential surprise package in 2020.
Nothing much is expected from the Panthers during the first year of their substantial rebuild. Any success that comes their way is going to be a bonus. But that should not take away from the fact that the pressure is on this revamped roster to deliver when competitive action gets underway.
They will be going into the season with plenty of uncertainty. There is just no telling how much chemistry the team can generate with no preseason games on the schedule. And plenty of projected starters will be learning on the job against some outstanding opposition.
The media is on the outside looking in at this year’s camp due to the current climate. But there is plenty to take away from what sort of things have been going on over the past week.
We picked four players who saw their stock rise or fall during the first few days of Panthers’ camp.
