Carolina Panthers punter Swayze Waters looking to make a name in NFL

The Mississippi native who might be the Panthers’ new punter went through a goat milk phase in Canada, spent the past week helping the homeless in New York City and was the first player signed by Carolina following the Super Bowl loss last month.

But any getting-to-know-you interview with Swayze Waters must first start with his name, which he shares with a certain late actor who famously (infamously) uttered the line “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” in the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing.”

“I figured that question was coming,” Waters said Friday during a telephone interview while taking a break from his ministry work in New York.
