"If you find a great one, and they're great at a specific thing, that's what you'd try to do," Holcomb said. "I mean, if there's a Luke Kuechly sitting in front of us, we have to take Luke Kuechly." But those kinds of players are rare, so improvising might be part of what they have to do...

MOBILE, Ala. — The Panthers' coaching staff gets two hours a day to run practice at the Senior Bowl, and they have another two hours of meetings a day with the American team. There are a few other chances to get to know some of the college all-stars assembled in Alabama this week, but head...

Whitaker wears athletic footwear on the fields for one very practical reason. He once fell flat on his assistant while making a point. "At any moment, I could bust out in a full sprint, and I'd hate to be running and not having anything underneath me," he said with a laugh. "So I definitely...

"In the beginning, Pete was really in charge. But through no egos and the collaboration and the trust and the deep conversations they've had, Pete has opened up, and it's really a partnership. It's really a marriage between the two. And I've never seen an argument between them. They can...

NEW EXPERIENCE Fitterer doesn't have much experience with a draft pick as high as he'll be using this year (eighth overall). But from a philosophical standpoint, he's interested in adding more draft picks rather than subtracting them, the way they did in Seattle. The Seahawks haven't...

In my two years at the Panthers, I've documented the friendship between wide receivers Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore. Both on and off the field, they display a brotherly love for one another and are as tight as two teammates can be. With Samuel a pending free agent, many assume the young, talented...
