CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cornerback Donte Jackson had just ended a short-but-colorful interview during last weekend's rookie minicamp when Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera took center stage with the media.
"Did he just quote Beyoncé?" Rivera asked with a grin.
Nods followed.
The quote came when Jackson was asked if he morphed into a superhero on the football field like former Carolina cornerback Josh Norman -- aka his alter persona, the "Dark Knight" -- did when he put on his jersey.
"I don't really do the superhero things," Jackson said without hesitation.
