We like new guys. They come to the Carolina Panthers straight out of college with daredevil highlights and glittering resumes. We have no idea what they can’t do. We know only what they can.
And then there are the former new guys that were injured and missed all or most of last season. If the rookies are the new cars, the former new guys are slightly used. Among them are defensive end Daeshon Hall, safety Demetrious Cox and cornerbacks Cole Luke and Corn Elder.
“There are several of these guys from last year’s class that have to step up in order for us to be successful,” Carolina Panthers’ coach Ron Rivera says Monday after the organized team activity.
