This weekend, Burns is leaning on someone in his same shoes when it comes to learning the ropes. “Me and Brian have been sticking together,” said Christian Miller, the Panthers’ fourth-round draft pick. “We’re both outside linebackers, and we respect each other’s games. He’s a really good...

It's almost hard to believe Newton turns 30 on Saturday. Time sure has flown since the Panthers took the 21-year-old with the top pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. But while Newton has in some ways matured, he also still acts like a big kid. Depending on which side of the lightning rod you're on...

CHARLOTTE – With the clock ticking toward zero, Panthers owner David Tepper stepped up for the West Charlotte High School boys' basketball team. Wednesday, the high school just down the road from Bank of America Stadium thanked Tepper for funding the team’s road trip to the state championship...

CHARLOTTE – Elijah Holyfield doesn’t sound bitter or angry. After going undrafted, the former Georgia running back and son of former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield has his eyes on what’s ahead. “Not getting drafted, it’s something I try not to think about,” Holyfield said. “I...

CHARLOTTE -- The Panthers announced multiple changes to the club’s scouting and football operations staff Thursday, with several experienced members of the front office adding more responsibility entering the 2019 season. "Just like we evaluate our player roster every year, we evaluate our...

He walked into the media room already struggling to contain the emotions. “Allergies are bad this time of year,” he joked as he took a seat. He tried to start speaking but couldn’t. He needed a few moments to gather himself. “To think back to March of 2003. I came here on a visit. A...

“I had “Sr” on the back of my jersey because we have a 4-year-old, Steve Smith Jr. This will be the only time that he’s able to kind of remember what dad used to do,” Smith said. “It’s a chapter that’s closed, but in the next chapter, a little piece gives him an opportunity to experience what...

Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith had great chemistry on the field. Their chemistry on screen? Let's just say it was wildly entertaining. In honor of Delhomme and Smith going into Carolina's Hall of Honor, the @Panthers unearthed two glorious Bojangles commercials from their playing days...

Quarterback Cam Newton attended the famed MET Gala in New York for the second consecutive year, and this year's look came with a little more drip, as he would say. When it comes to fashion's biggest night out, you know Newton is going to bring it. Cam wore one of his signature hats, of...

CHARLOTTE – Carolina’s 2019 rookie minicamp, scheduled to begin Friday, will have fewer participants and more of a classroom emphasis than it has in years past. In previous years, the Panthers have invited anywhere between 28 and 37 tryout players on the field with rookies and select eligible...

Head coach Ron Rivera said he wasn't surprised to see his franchise quarterback respond in such a manner. "Cam understands his position on this football team," Rivera said. "And going forward, he knows it's his job to help develop our team -- just in case. I feel very positive about how...

LONDON – With the Panthers’ first ever international game comes a lot of excitement and anticipation. It also comes with a lot of logistical challenges. Carolina is one of the last teams to play a game in London (Green Bay will soon be the lone holdout), so at this point, the NFL is...

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– @youngandwrcklss Favorite underdog to make the 53 this year? Last year was Obada, this year is...? Elijah Holyfield. Yeah, his 4.78 40-yard dash at the combine likely sent him tumbling down draft boards, but...

CHARLOTTE – The Panthers have declined to pick up the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Vernon Butler contract. Friday was the NFL deadline for teams to pick up the option for their 2016 first-round draft picks. The 2019 season will be the fourth and final one for Butler under his rookie...

Julius Peppers: Another player whose play truly speaks for him – a soft-spoken beast of a defensive end who ranks fourth in NFL history in sacks. Peppers, however, is just three months removed from the end of his remarkable 17-year career. It feels like it could be too soon to enshrine him...

You know their names. Now you know their numbers. The Panthers’ draft picks have selected the jersey numbers they’ll wear as NFL rookies. First-round draft choice Brian Burns will wear No. 53. The edge defender wore No. 99 at Florida State, but that one is already taken by defensive tackle...

We all know the deal by now, understanding that it's pretty much an exercise in futility. But still we click. The true measure of a draft class can't be truly measured until the selected players have ample opportunity to make an impact on the field, but it's still fun to look at the...

CHARLOTTE – After four rounds of competition featuring more than 160 candidates, the 2019 TopCats squad is complete. Nineteen veterans and 11 rookies from North and South Carolina will comprise this year’s squad. Nicole Smith, cheerleader manager and choreographer, said in addition to being...
