This is how the Carolina Panthers’ training camp works, which works for me.
A player I’ve never heard of, from a school I’ve never heard of, that’s in a state I’ve never heard of, will make a series of good to great catches, or prevent a Carolina receiver from making a catch. He’ll get to the quarterback as if propelled, or regularly stop defenders from getting to the quarterback. I’ll pull the oft folded and unfolded roster from my back pocket, unfold it and look up his number. OK, he’s 110, and he shares the number with a player on the other side of the ball.
