This was an incredibly fun watch. We had it so good in 2015. I was at the game in Nashville against the Titans. Probably my most fun experience as a Panthers fan. #KeepPounding

Frank Reich and Ron Rivera once led the Carolinas' lone NFL team. This week they were back in Charlotte, but this time working for college teams 3,000 miles away. But the long shadow of the NFL and the Panthers was everywhere. For @theobserver. charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…

Dave Canales reminded rookie edge rusher Princely U. not to hit the QB in camp after a great rush on Bryce Young results in Princely knocking the ball out. No injuries; just a reminder.

What exactly went wrong in Super Bowl 50 for the Panthers? And, 10 years later, what is the ultimate takeaway for the winningest team in Carolina history? Our "Super Men" series concludes with a deep dive into those questions, for @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…

The uber-talented Ryan Kalil, a 5x Pro Bowl center who then became a film and TV production guru, was kind enough when he heard about our "Super Men" project to share with @theobserver a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos he took of the 2015 Panthers. charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…
