CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers believe their time is now.
New Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen recently took that a step further on the Pat McAfee show, saying Carolina has a “real chance to win a Super Bowl’’ after he signed a three-year deal.
Much will depend on which quarterback the Panthers select with the No. 1 overall pick of the NFL draft between Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.
Building a roster that will allow new coach Frank Reich to drop a rookie into the mix sooner rather than later was general manager Scott Fitterer’s mission during free agency.
