5 key observations from Carolina Panthers Fan Fest 2021

Stanley McClover brings the hype to Carolina Panthers Fan Fest

There isn’t a stauncher supporter of Brian Burns than his brother.

Stanley McClover has become a more prominent figure for the Carolina Panthers since the team drafted the stud defensive end in 2019. Something that already looks like a masterstroke despite the Florida State product only entering his third NFL season.

Simply put, McClover just gets it.

He’s formed a strong connection to the fans and is obviously a former Panthers player himself for good measure.

When people needed smiles on their faces over the last year, McClover has been on hand to deliver. A beacon of hope for what might be to come.

This was once again evident throughout Fan Fest. McClover seemed to be everywhere – on the field and in the crowd – bringing relentless energy that people seem to gravitate towards.

Expect to see plenty of this from McClover during the season.

The Panthers’ official “Hype Man” has quickly emerged as a connection between players and supporters at a time when things could be somewhat disenchanted after legendary figures all parted ways for multiple reasons in a relatively short space of time.

As for Burns, a dominant 2021 season could be in the offing for a player with every possible physical attribute needed to become the NFL’s best pass-rusher in the not-too-distant future.
