Carolina Panthers made Devin Funchess their lead receiver. Now he’s showing why

Last September as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn threw shade on Carolina Panthers wideout Devin Funchess.

After the Vikings held Funchess without a catch in their 22-10 victory, Munnerlyn said the Minnesota defensive backs concentrated on stopping then-Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin and weren’t worried about Funchess.

“I’m just going to be honest,” Munnerlyn said that day. “Me personally, I don’t think he is that good, No. 17 (Funchess).”

Much has changed in the 16 months since, including Munnerlyn’s opinion of a player who’s now his teammate.
