Garrett motivated to prove Panthers "got a steal"

CHARLOTTE – Keyarris Garrett refuses to dwell on the fact that we wasn’t drafted. But it will undoubtedly motivate him throughout his NFL career.

"I don’t let it bring me down," the former Tulsa wide receiver said after his first rookie minicamp practice. "But I think about it all the time."

Garrett has been given no real explanation for why he wasn’t selected in the 2016 NFL Draft. He thought he would hear his named called in Round Four at the very least.

"I have no idea," Garrett said with an incredulous look. "(My agent) really couldn’t tell me why they didn’t pick me.
