CHARLOTTE – The last time cornerback Robert McClain put on a Panthers uniform, head coach Ron Rivera was still getting ready for his regular season debut and safety Roman Harper was still playing for the New Orleans Saints.
"I need to get his name down first: Robert McClain, right?" Harper said. "I've just met him. He's a cool dude, quiet guy. Seems very quick and agile.
"I'm expecting some nice things from him. I'm sure Mr. (Dave) Gettleman and Coach Rivera wouldn't bring guys in that aren't going to come in and contribute in a positive way.
