Dave Gettleman goes big when it comes to hog mollies.
Naturally.
Carolina’s general manager set the tone for his Panthers tenure in the 2013 draft by taking defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short in the first two rounds. Gettleman often says fans and reporters looked at him as though he had brain damage when he took a pair of defensive tackles when the Panthers had needs at wide receiver and offensive tackle.
Nobody questions Gettleman’s brainpower or love of hog mollies anymore, not even on a day that saw the Panthers part with veteran defensive linemen Charles Johnson and Dwan Edwards.
