Opportunity with childhood team 'surreal' for Panthers' TE Eric Wallace

Eric Wallace – a Winston-Salem native and avid Carolina Panthers supporter – has never witnessed game day at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

When Carolina hosts its first preseason game of the 2016 season on Aug. 26 against the New England Patriots, Wallace will experience his first game – on the field, as a member of the Panthers.

Wallace signed a three-year deal as a tight end with Carolina on Monday, bookmarking another page in the 27-year-old’s unorthodox professional journey.

This here is a dream. Panther fan since '95 and to be heading to training camp is surreal!
