Good stuff.  It has to be fun as hell to be a participant in any training camp.  It's a lot of hard work, but a lot of goofing that takes place as well.

Speaking of videos, there are two new videos now posted at Panthers.com today:

(4:48) Posted 2 hours ago

Assistant head coach excited about the Panthers' effort and energy during their first practice in full pads.

 

and

Total Access: Oklahoma drill

It's only fitting that for the first practice in full pads, former Sooner Daryl Williams got in on the action.

Even though tweets are finished for the day, I'll keep posting any good Day 3 observation articles / photos, etc. I come across as I troll the web.

David Newton has a good write up of the Jarrett Boykin media interview:

http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/14630/panthers-wr-jarrett-boykin-cam-newton-has-potential-to-be-best-qb-in-the-nfl

An excerpt

Boykin knows what it’s like to catch passes from the best. He’s spent the past three seasons with four-time Pro Bowl selection Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.

“They both have great, tremendous arms,’’ Boykin said on Sunday after Carolina’s first practice in pads. “Cam has the ability to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

“He brings that mentality every day and gases everybody up. You can tell he wants to be the best. He has all the potential in the world to be the best.’’

Not only is Boykin impressed with Newton’s arm strength, which he ranked with that of Rodgers’, he’s impressed with the leadership of Carolina’s fifth-year quarterback.

“. . . Just the way he rallied everybody in Baltimore,’’ Boykin said of a two-week period Newton set aside to work with his receivers at the Under Armour facility prior to training camp. “Just taking the initiative to get the people together and focus on one main goal. He knows exactly what he wants. Once you get everybody aboard on the same page, everything is the best.’’

David Newton's Day 3 Observations:

http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/14625/michael-oher-struggles-against-pass-rush-as-panthers-practice-for-first-time-in-pads

A few excerpts:

Blind side: Left tackle Michael Oher had a tough day handling the pass rush on the first day in pads. Between team and individual drills he was beaten badly at least four times. The last was by right defensive end Mario Addison, who reached up and tipped a Cam Newton pass. The Panthers are hoping Oher, who struggled at right tackle the past two seasons with Tennessee and Baltimore, can stabilize the left tackle position. Nate Chandler, who lost the left tackle job to Byron Bell last season, worked first as Oher’s backup.

Right defensive end: Kony Ealy began the first drill as the starter there. Addison opened up with the first team on a passing drill. Frank Alexander also got a lot of time working with the first group. The Panthers are hoping one of those players steps up as the every-down end opposite Charles Johnson.
