A happier young man than Kaelin Clay would be hard to find in either of the Carolinas on Wednesday afternoon.
Not only are his Los Angeles Dodgers ahead a game in the World Series, but he’s also back in the city he’s grown to love.
Clay, a speedy wide receiver from California (who is nicknamed “West Coast Clay” by Panthers quarterback Cam Newton), has returned to Charlotte after being claimed off waivers from Buffalo on Tuesday.
Originally brought in as a speedy long shot, Clay won over the coaching staff and teammates with a strong and consistent training camp and preseason, both as a receiver and a punt returner.
