Jordan Whitehead was in contention for the Panthers' starting job at boundary safety right up until the end, but fell just short of achieving that goal.
The Trib's Jerry DiPaola tweeted on Thursday that Amara had won the job but that Whitehead would replace him in passing situations. DiPaola also said that Mike Caprara will get the start over Bam Bradley at the money (outside) linebacker spot.
Back to Whitehead - he clearly impressed in camp. While Amara is somewhat unproven, you have to keep in mind that Whitehead is a true freshman.
