OHER’S NEW OPPORTUNITY
Arguably the biggest X-factor for the 2015 Panthers is the left tackle spot. Byron Bell manned the position last year following the retirement of mainstay Jordan Gross, and now Carolina has turned to free-agent signing Michael Oher, who struggled with a toe injury and never felt like a fit in his lone year with the Tennessee Titans. The Panthers are optimistic about Oher on every level – teammates, coaches and the front office were all impressed with how quickly he adapted during offseason training activities.
We’re all anxious to see how Oher responds when the pads come on during training camp.
