Who’s the fastest Panther? Devin Funchess, others feel the need to prove their speed

Ted Ginn Jr. might have bolted for New Orleans, but most Carolina Panthers veterans agree this year’s team might be one of the fastest in recent memory.

What remains a topic of debate in the locker room: Which player is the fastest?

That depends in part on whether you’re judging on straight-ahead speed or playing speed.

Former Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman was more interested the latter, putting more stock in a player’s speed when wearing pads and helmets rather than “how fast a guy goes 40 yards in his underwear.”

These Panthers have players that check both boxes.
