SPARTANBURG
Fresh from the Carolina Panthers’ Super Bowl run, fans showed up in record numbers the past three weeks at Wofford.
What they saw (and heard) just about every day were big plays by wide receiver Devin Funchess and a lot of chirping between quarterback Cam Newton and linebacker Thomas Davis and other members of the defense.
What they didn’t see: Any serious injuries to key players, a welcome sight following wideout Kelvin Benjamin’s season-ending ACL tear last summer.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera declined to name a training camp MVP, after some of his other choices (including Armanti Edwards and Frank Alexander) didn’t pan out so well during the regular season.
