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.
