CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Maybe the best indication that Tyler Larsen will start Sunday’s game for Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil is Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton already is working on a secret handshake for him.
OK, the second-best indication outside of Kalil missing the past two practices after being a last-minute scratch on Sunday against Buffalo when he woke up with a “crick" in his neck.
The handshake theory just sounds better.
In case you haven’t heard, the 2015 NFL MVP has a secret handshake he performs with every offensive starter prior to the first snap in practice and before games.
