We are 41 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at cornerback Captain Munnerlyn.Captain Munnerlyn Youth Greg Olsen Jersey , CornerbackBioHeight: 5’9”Weight: 195 lbsAge: 30College: South CarolinaNFL Experience: 10 yearsThe Panthers selected Captain Munnerlyn in the 7th round (No. 216 overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft. Munnerlyn has spent six years of his career in Carolina, after a brief stay in Minnesota from 2014-2016. Munnerlyn is currently the Panthers franchise leader in interceptions returned for a touchdown, with five. He is also tied for first in franchise history for most interceptions returned for a touchdown in a single season, with two (2012 http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/michael-palardy-jersey-authentic , 2013). His 7.5 sacks also ranks second in franchise history for most by a defensive back.Now, Munnerlyn enters his 10th year in the league competing for a starting spot in the Panthers secondary. After general manager Marty Hurney used two draft picks on Donte Jackson and Rashaan Gaulden in the 2018 draft to add some youth to the secondary, there are fewer spots up for grabs that Munnerlyn can take. The Panthers are planning to use Gaulden as a safety, so that helps Munnerlyn’s cause to make the final 53-man roster.Information from the Panthers’ official website contributed to this story.Cam Newton takes high road on Kelvin Benjamin The saga continues (kind of) for Cam Newton and former Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin. Following the Panthers’ preseason win over the Miami Dolphins http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/c.j.-anderson-jersey-authentic , Newton was asked via Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith about his former teammate. Benjamin, who is now with the Buffalo Bills after a surprising trade from the Panthers last season, recently bad-mouthed Newton. In an interview with The Athletic, Benjamin stated http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/wes-horton-jersey-authentic , Benjamin also said he would’ve had more success if he had been paired with “any other quarterback.”Benjamin and Newton were teammates for nearly three seasons from 2014-17. Benjamin caught 168 catches for 2,424 yards and 18 touchdowns while he was a Panther. The two were taped exchanging words during pregame warmups before the Panthers and Bills faced off on Aug. 9.It’s clear that Newton has no more words left for Benjamin.
