CHARLOTTE – As members of the 2017 Panthers milled around the locker room for the final time, one veteran was a man on a mission.
Running back Jonathan Stewart, as he does after select seasons, circulated around the locker room seeking signatures on a commemorative football.
"I do this for the good seasons," Stewart said.
The Panthers as a team and Stewart as an individual enjoyed a good season, and now he wants at least one more.
"I'm not done yet; I'm still ticking," Stewart said the day after an 11-5 season ended with a 31-26 playoff loss to the Saints.
