Awesome article on Taylor Moton, he's got local relatives with PSLs. Way cool.

Thanks to Bill Voth for finding this and tweeting this.  From Moton's home town newspaper.

Moton’s great aunt, Joyce Fisher, lives 22 miles from Bank of America Stadium in downtown Charlotte. She and her husband joked earlier in the day about how great it would be to see their nephew in a Panthers uniform.

That is now a reality.

“I can’t believe it,” Fisher said. “I am ecstatic. We have a permanent seat license. We go to all the games.”

Not even champagne in the eye could erase the smile from Moton’s face as he celebrated in the street with his close friends and former teammates. His mom was still inside, huddled around a television in the kitchen, watching his live announcement on repeat.

“I have the worst migraine,” she said with a smile. “I can’t handle this.”

When Moton finally had a chance to look at his phone, he had more than 90 text messages and dozens missed calls. He wanted them all to be here, sharing this moment with him. Lost in the excitement was the reality at hand. Moton will be blocking for All-Pro quarterback Cam Newton and first-round draft pick Christian McCaffrey this fall when he reports to Panthers training camp.

“I haven’t even thought about that,” he said of playing with high-profile athletes on a team that was just in the Super Bowl in 2016. “It’s exciting.”
