Panthers Player Still Dealing with Tragedy

In a switch from your everyday run-of-the-mill NFL story, today we have a story about Panthers back up tight end Jeff King’s work with his alma mater Virginia Tech, as the school struggles to return things to something resembling “normal,” in their first full school term after the awful and tragic shootings on campus.  As everyone is most likely well-aware, the Virginia Tech shooting last year claimed the lives of 32 students last April.  As it would be for any of us if this tragedy had happened in a place we had always thought of as a safe haven, the shootings have shaken the Hokies to the core.

King has been very active in attempting to help in any way possible as the Hokie community attempts to return things to normal on campus.  He has also been very active in training camp, taking many of the first team reps at tight end so far, and looking like the most likely starter at the position for the beginning of the season, even over veteran Michael Gaines.
