Elijah Hood is hoping that playing close to home with the Carolina Panthers will help jumpstart his NFL career after he spent three years at the University of North Carolina. On Thursday, Hood played in his first preseason game with the Panthers and made an impact.
During the Panthers’ 28-23 win over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, Hood played significant time in the preseason opener.
The running back appears to be fifth on the depth chart as training camp rolls on and will likely have to make some sort of impact on special teams to secure a roster spot.
