Panthers Stay Busy in the Offseason

The Carolina Panthers have had some significant time off over the last couple months to rehash that ugly loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the playoffs, and this week the Panthers have gone back to the place where they last suffered that disappointing defeat, jumping headfirst into offseason training at Bank of America Stadium. While several Panthers are getting back into the swing of things in Charlotte, practice isn’t the only thing these standout athletes have been focusing their time and efforts on.

Several Panthers have also taken part in various service projects, the latest of which involved cats in hats, as left guard Travelle Wharton, linebacker Thomas Davis and wide receiver Kenneth Moore recently dressed up in striped top hats to read Dr. Seuss classics to students at First Ward Elementary in Charlotte. The players spent a day acting as role models to elementary students, and Moore described his interest in the event, saying, “The thing is, I don’t even remember somebody like a professional athlete coming back to my school and talking to us. I can understand and imagine how I would have felt if that had happened for me, so it felt great to come here, help these kids out and show them that there are things they can do to lead them to bigger things. It means a lot. Being from here and knowing kids locally, it means a lot just to be able to show my face and show that I care about the kids.”
