Unsung Panthers lineman shows game-ball-worthy ability vs. Jets, and it’s no new thing

A guy who’s been overlooked publicly practically the entire season went home with a game ball Sunday for his performance against the New York Jets.

Carolina Panthers right tackle Daryl Williams, overshadowed somewhat by the addition of Matt Kalil at left tackle, earned a perfect pass protection grade from the coaching staff for his work in the 35-27 victory.

Williams, 25, in his second season as a starter, had an overall grade of 96 percent and was among those who received a game ball.

“He played a solid football game,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Monday.
