Panthers Past Mini-Camp

Without Keyshawn Johnson Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme has now become the offensive player with the most seniority.   “It’s different for me because I guess I never considered myself one of the older guys,” Delhomme said about his place on the team.  He is very encouraged about his new backup David Carr, “I don’t have any doubt he’ll be ready to play if he’s called upon.”

All of the new draft picks participated in the weekend’s mini-camp, but did not play with the starting line-up.  Rookie Jon Beason will be working behind starter Na’il Diggs as an outside linebacker and a possible inside man if Dan Morgan is plagued by injury again.  Safeties will be played by Nate Salley and Mike Minter, while free agency has Tebucky Jones, Sammy Knight, Mike Logan, Tony Parrish, Lance Schulters and Troy Vincent in stock.

Left guard is manned by Mike Wahle while right guard has Geoff Hangartner, Justin Hartwig, Evan Mathis and Jeremy Bridges as options.  Several of them can fill center along with draftee Ryan Kalil.  There are a lot of options that will be worked out over the next few practices.  Get your tickets to the regular season early and get them through StubHub.com.
