SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Perhaps the best way to find members of the Carolina Panthers’ secondary when they’re not on the practice field is to listen for the roar.
Seven of the 15 have Panther Blue Yamaha Raptor 450 ATVs.
“We’re like the modern day Rough Riders,’’ cornerback Teddy Williams said.
That would make Williams the Teddy Roosevelt of the group.
They don’t have San Juan Hill for him to lead a charge. But the off-road machines come in handy as players race up the paved hill that goes from the locker room at Wofford College, the Panthers' training camp home, to the cafeteria and living quarters.
