Luke Kuechly might be the most sound tackler in all football. The Carolina Panthers star combines rare physical gifts with textbook form and innate instincts that allow him to track ballcarriers and bring them down both in a crowd and in space more reliably than perhaps any other defender in the NFL. Earlier this week, […]

When people think of teams who can contend for a Super Bowl in the upcoming NFL season, there’s a list of usual suspects that pop up. While the Carolina Panthers may not necessarily be on that list, one former NFL player thinks that the team is ready to break out, and could be a team […]

Norv Turner took over as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator last year, and during his first season with the club, things went pretty well, as the Panthers finished ranked 10th in the NFL in total offense. But Carolina probably would have been even better had it not been for a shoulder issue that plagued quarterback […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore got off to a bit of a slow start to his rookie campaign but finished the season strong and he sees an even bigger year in year two. Last season he caught 55 passes for 788 yards and two touchdowns, including a long catch of 82 yards. He also […]

The Carolina Panthers have recently received some great news in regards to Cam Newton. Their All-Pro quarterback underwent shoulder surgery this offseason, but his recovery seems to be going well. In an article by Brendan Marks of the Charlotte Observer, Newton is expected to be a “full participant” in training camp. Panthers fans can rejoice […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore was one of the most productive offensive rookies in the NFL in 2018, and it seems like he hasn’t even scratched the surface of what he can be capable of.  DJ Moore on expectations for his 2nd season: "We saw the jump that Christian had from Year 1 to […]

Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson had a solid rookie campaign, playing in all 16 games and finishing with 74 tackles, a sack, four interceptions, a forced fumble, and nine passes defended. But going into 2019, the Panthers are expecting more out of him, and Jackson says it’s a different experience. “Obviously, the guys ask for […]

The Carolina Panthers will be featured on this year’s installment of “All or Nothing,” Amazon Prime’s offseason series that follows one NFL franchise through the team’s offseason. Giving the world a glimpse of this version of the program, the Panthers released the following video over the weekend, a clip that notably features veteran tight end […]

The Carolina Panthers currently have one of the best running backs in the NFL: soon-to-be third-year rusher Christian McCaffrey. Several younger members of the Panthers’ roster remain primed to break out in 2019, including soon-to-be second-year wide receiver DJ Moore. While DJ Moore certainly doesn’t lack any confidence on the field, the up-and-coming pass catcher […]

The Carolina Panthers season came crashing down in 2018 after having a promising start to the year. Through nine weeks, the Panthers held an impressive 6-2 record and were poised to make a run for the NFC South crown. Then, Cam Newton and the Panthers to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers at Heinz Field. […]

Super Bowls are not easy to come by in the NFL for any position. Ask Dan Marino. Marino is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history but in his 17-year career—the Lombardi Trophy eluded him. Football is the ultimate team sport where you need all 53 guys on your roster to do […]

Linebacker Shaq Thompson has been waiting patiently since being drafted in 2015 for his chance to take the reigns as a full-time starter for the Carolina Panthers. Since being selected 25th overall, Thompson has played moderate snaps behind stalwart veteran Thomas Davis. After 14 incredible years, the Panthers decided to let Davis walk in free […]

Shaq Thompson is not exactly a household name, but the linebacker has been a regular on the Carolina Panthers defense since 2015, and just because he is not very well-known does not mean he is not appreciated. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera loves having Thompson around, praising his versatility: “One of the things we’ve seen […]

Head coach Ron Rivera and the Carolina Panthers have taken major steps to craft a younger, faster roster over the past few seasons. The front office has also shown an affinity for players who show strong versatility (see Christian McCaffrey). Not so to the same extent of the Philadelphia 76ers mantra to “Trust the Process,” […]

As the season gets closer more and more are starting to talk about Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and what kind of season he could have. Former San Francisco 49ers running back Roger Craig was the first player in NFL history to reach 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season in 1985, […]

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is coming off the best year of his career and is quickly becoming one of the better running backs in the league. Even being one of the best running backs in the league still puts him a long ways away from being in the conversation of being a Hall […]

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is one of the more recognizable football players in the league with his pads on, but off the field, not many people take notice when he’s in public. In a question and answer segment with Joseph Person of The Athletic, McCaffrey said that when he is out in public, […]

The NFL MVP race in 2019 was a fun one to watch as fans got to see one of the best single-season stretches ever witnessed from a quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. Not far behind him though was Aaron Donald, who finished the season just two and a half sacks away from taking down the sack […]

Running backs are one of the most important positions in fantasy football. First of all, usually teams are allowed to start multiple in a week. Then, of course, there’s the fact that they have high-potential for consistent weekly scoring. With that in mind, you tend to see a lot of running backs come off the […]

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was one of the nicest stories in the NFL this past season, rushing for 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry during his rookie campaign en route to the Pro Bowl. The catch? Lindsay went undrafted last year. Lindsay, who played his collegiate football at […]

Every team’s goal heading into the 2019 NFL season is to make the playoffs for a chance to hoist the Lombardi trophy in February. Unfortunately, only 12 teams get an opportunity to reach the postseason. Thus, leaving 20 teams to watch the playoff teams in defeat while their offseason begins early. Despite not making the […]

Two of football’s most prideful superstars might again train together ahead of the regular season. Last summer, Antonio Brown and Cam Newton made headlines when the superstar pair joined forces to conduct offseason workouts in Miami. They heavily-documented their time together on social media, both just hanging out after training and playing throw and catch […]

On Wednesday, Amazon Prime and the NFL announced the return of “All or Nothing,” which will feature the Carolina Panthers. The eight-episode look back at the 2018 season will debut July 19 on Amazon Prime. The team released a promotional video on Twitter. Carolina started last season well, going 6-2 in the first half, but then […]

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is back for at least one more year, but he’s not promising anything beyond that. Olsen has flirted with retirement in the past, and has been severely banged up each of the last two seasons. In a recent radio interview with WFNZ, Olsen was noncommittal about his status beyond […]

Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers are heading into the 2019 NFL season looking to get back into contention. After missing the playoffs with a 7-9 record, the Panthers were unable to make the playoffs. Now, they are hoping to get back to full health and get back to where they left off a couple […]

It might just be wishful thinking or perhaps there’s some truth to it. Either way, Bruce Irvin likes what he sees from the Carolina Panthers’ defensive front. Irvin, of course, knows what a great defense looks like. He was part of the Seahawks team that won Super Bowl XLVIII on the back of an overwhelming […]

Evidently, money can’t buy everything and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton found that out on a recent flight. On his recent flight over to France, Newton approached a man and tried to pay him $1,500 to switch seats with him for the flight. So this happened… @CameronNewton offered a man $1500 cash for extra leg […]

The Carolina Panthers have a new defensive tackle this season in Gerald McCoy. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan definitely isn’t going to underestimate him. In an interview with Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, Ryan talked about the rival Panthers and the elite defensive lineman they added this offseason. “Gerald McCoy went from being a problem in […]

The main story for the Carolina Panthers going into training camp is the status of the right arm of Cam Newton, and that is perfectly understandable. After all, Newton is the franchise quarterback and is coming off of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. But in the midst of Newton’s recovery, one thing a lot of people seem […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has never been afraid about being a little “different” in the terms of his fashion and at times has worn some pretty unique outfits. This past week, Newton has taken some of that fashion sense to Paris to join in on Fashion Week, according to the Panthers team website. On […]

Everyone experiences embarrassing moments in their life, but not everyone has the luxury of doing so on national television. Count former NFL quarterback Jake Delhomme among those who had the pleasure of going through one of his most mortifying moments with everybody watching. It happened back in 2005 when Delhomme was playing for the Carolina […]

Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy did not seem too bothered when he heard he had been replaced by defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in almost every sense of the word. It appears he has since changed his stance on the matter. Not only did Suh take McCoy’s spot on the […]

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen may broadcast an NFL game during his bye week next season. The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand (via Pro Football Talk’s Darin Gantt) reported on the development on June 19. Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has a future in television, and he may have a present in it again […]

The Carolina Panthers traded up in the second-round of the 2019 NFL Draft to select Greg Little with the 37th-overall pick. According to Darin Gantt of ProFootballTalk.com, they’ve now officially signed the offensive tackle to his rookie deal. The Carolina Panthers clearly have big plans for Greg Little. You don’t trade up to the very […]

Gerald McCoy knows this Panthers’ defense is capable of big things. Its why he came to Carolina in the first place. With the veteran defensive tackle aboard, the expectations for Carolina’s defense are high. And when asked on WFNZ’s Wilson & Parcell what his own expectations are, McCoy made it clear the bar is set high. […]

In a moment of profound relief for his friends and family and the NFL community, former Carolina Panthers running back Rod Smart has been found safe, per Andrew Dys of the Rock Hill Herald. We heard earlier today that Smart was missing, and that he hadn’t been seen since last week. It was reported that […]

The Carolina Panthers are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won just seven games and missed the playoffs, but their record is a bit misleading. The Panthers actually got off to a 6-2 start and seemed primed to contend in the NFC before Cam Newton began experiencing shoulder issues, leading to Carolina […]

Former Carolina Panthers running back and XFL legend Rod Smart has been reported missing, and South Carolina authorities are asking for assistance in locating in him. Smart, who’s real name is Torrold, was last seen June 12 near Indian Land in Indian Land, near Charlotte. “Family and deputies have concerns about his well-being and safety,” […]

Cam Newton has been down this road before. The Carolina Panthers quarterback had shoulder surgery before the 2017 season — but not until March, and he was on a strict pitch count upon his return — so he knows how to handle the rehabilitation process. So far, he looks well ahead of that 2017 pace. […]
