The NFL Combine concludes today with defensive backs taking the field for drill work but news of prospect meetings is already being released. One interesting note for the Carolina Panthers is their interest in two potential quarterbacks – one that is already making headlines.
Concerned about the health of quarterback Cam Newton‘s shoulder, who was shut down entirely for the final two games last season, Carolina needs either a legitimate backup who can fill the void in his absence or a rookie to develop and potentially groom for the future starting position. After shuffling through three signal callers over the final two games, due to other injuries, it’s a safe bet the Panthers hope to find some security here – especially if they wish to remain in contention should Newton be unable to take the field at any point in the year.
