There are a lot of tough jobs taken on by various Carolina Panthers. Matt Kalil has to protect Cam Newton’s blind side against each team’s best pass rusher. Newton himself has to make the right snap decision and then throw the ball into a space the size of a basketball hoop. Graham Gano must make practically every field goal every season.
But arguably the toughest job description comes when you are the Panthers’ No. 1 cornerback, a spot manned by third-year cornerback James Bradberry.
Because he plays in the NFC South, Bradberry has to go from Atlanta’s Julio Jones to Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans to New Orleans’ Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn Jr.
