Last week Eric Wallace was catching passes from a couple of high school quarterbacks in Kernersville.
This week he’ll be pulling down throws from Cam Newton.
Crazy transitions are nothing new for Wallace, the former Big East basketball player and ex-Aussie Rules Football player who signed a free-agent deal with the Panthers on Monday. Wide receiver Cobi Hamilton was waived to make room for Wallace.
After making his way up I-77 to Huntersville (where he’s staying with ex-Panthers tight end Brandon Williams), Wallace was still trying to get his head around the fact he’s on the roster of his boyhood team.
