CHARLOTTE – Linebacker Thomas Davis doesn't back down from any challenge, particularly if the challenge is as daunting as squaring off against the NFL's top offense.
That's what Davis and the Panthers' perennial top-10 defense will get to do every day during the team's mandatory veteran minicamp that started Tuesday.
Watch practice – or more specifically listen to practice – for any 10-minute stretch, and it's likely you'll catch Davis chirping with quarterback Cam Newton, who helped Carolina lead the NFL in scoring last season.
"We've been doing it for going on two years now, and it's been good," Davis said.
