Ron Rivera, Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen at Pro-Am full of optimism

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Ron Rivera was a linebacker for the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX and the head coach of the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

He says he didn't feel nearly the pressure in either of those that he did on Wednesday playing golf in front of Phil Mickelson and a huge gallery at the Wells Fargo Championship Pro-Am.

"The Super Bowl is easy compared to this," Rivera said. "This is the hard stuff. You're pretty much on your own, as opposed to being a part of the team."

Speaking of the Super Bowl, Rivera has high aspirations for the 2018 season.
