Carolina Panthers owner lauds the process
After his early ownership stint didn't go according to plan, David Tepper has been moving a little differently this offseason. The billionaire is looking to right some serious wrongs and after landing the No. 1 overall selection, seemed pleased with how the entire process panned out according to Joe Person of The Athletic.
"Tepper says Panthers were "true to the process" in selecting a QB, which wasn't always the case previously. "We're not messing around.""
