    "When the rookie kicker Harrison Butker was drafted, many claimed it was the end of the line for Graham Gano in Carolina.

    Now, Butker and critics alike are watching Gano on fire at training camp. On Saturday, Rivera subbed Butker and Gano interchangeably during kicks as a competition. Butker would go 2-for-4 while the veteran went 4-for-5. The next day, Gano nailed eight field goals in a row, including one from 65 yards out.

    There’s still time but right now it doesn’t look too good for the rookie."

    I've seen McCaffrey returning kicks. I'm not so sure about this. Seems like you are putting a prime piece of our puzzle at risk of injury. Thoughts?

    I can't recall a lot of returners being injured on those plays, just blockers and tacklers.

    A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

    Judging by the batting order, it looks like McCaffrey is just getting reps in case we want to use him for emergency or special situations. Fozzy appears to be the primary KR, with McCaffrey handling punt returns.

    Panthers defensive end Mario Addison arrives for lunch in his new training camp ride that apparently can set land speed records for an ATV: "That's a 1000 Polaris,'' he said. "It goes about 230. I've only gotten it up to 200. It's pretty fast.''
