Panthers: Tight end Chris Manhertz in line for productive season

Chris Manhertz. Some Carolina Panther fans may recognize that name. Others may have no clue who he is. For the latter group, I suggest you begin to learn it. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday that Manhertz has been with Greg Olsen more and the consensus is that he is primed to take over the backup tight end spot.

“Chris Manhertz has been hanging out with Greg Olsen a lot,” Rivera told the Charlotte Observer. “And that can only be a good thing for us.”

Manhertz has bounced around from team to team throughout the course of his career.
