Captain

Munnerlyn's quick success with the Panthers mirrors the impact he made as a freshman at South Carolina in 2006, when he excelled defending then-Gamecocks' star receiver Sidney Rice in practice.

"After my first practice, he gave me his number and started texting me," Munnerlyn said of Rice, who's now a starter for the Minnesota Vikings. "He was like, `I see something in you. You can be good. Stay humble and stay hungry.'"

Munnerlyn said he kept those text messages until his phone broke.

Once he came to Carolina, Smith gave him similar encouragement, which Munnerlyn embraced with almost childlike excitement.

"I was like, `This is Steve Smith! It's the NFL! This is like a dream come true!'" said Munnerlyn.

You know, the more I see of this young man, the more I like him. His attitude and work ethic are something I wish we saw more of in our other young players.

Yes, one of the few bright spots so far this year.

Yep, Munnerlyn is the kind of guy you can't help but root for.

Plus, every time he makes a play on the field, I get to take a drink and do my best "Captain" pose.

I already said it earlier I think Captain will replace Marshall before long.

I just want him to score a TD and DO the captains pose!

[Mother Grabber]

Considering all of the knocks on him before and right after the draft, I wasn't even expecting him to make the team.

I have been pleasantly surprised. Hope he keeps on improving.

Perhaps they need to design a special "Captain Chaos" blitz for him.

Can't help but like the guy. Maybe I will get some "captain" for the game tomorrow.

He was an absolute steal in the 7th round.

I remember that there were a whole bunch of people who said he was just "camp fodder."

Look at him now bitches.

I held out my opinon because I honestly didn't know anything about him. But I do now. I think he has preformed the best out of any of our CBs (Gamble included) during preseason and our 1st 2 games.

Nice! I've always been in his corner. Diversity FTW!
