CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison has been labeled a one-trick pony, an edge rusher whose only value is sacking the quarterback. It’s not a bad label, mind you, and it’s not one that offends the former high school running back.
It’s just not totally accurate.
Addison proved that once again in Saturday’s 33-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. In a game in which there were few bright spots for the Panthers (6-9), the sixth-year player out of Troy University had two tackles for loss on Atlanta running back Devonta Freeman.
