In what has been a roller coaster season for the Carolina Panthers, a rookie quarterback is going to get his first shot at NFL action. Will Grier is set to make his first start on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Grier, who was a third-round pick out of West Virginia in the 2019 Draft, played quite a bit during the preseason. He played in four games, going 34-of-61 in total. Passing for 385 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions, his performance in the preseason was a mixed bag of results. To be fair, I didn’t expect the rookie to play at a Pro Bowl-caliber level right off the bat.
