No internet or NFL network updating us on OTAs or training camp just 3 mins long segments at the end of the local news once a week

Went to a game with my dad that year, I think it was Arizona.  Can't remember the outcome

Kerry Collins. I almost gave up before we got started because of that character.

Since I am a forum noob, I thought I would try to establish some cred by posting pictures that I took at the very first ever Panthers practice. If memory serves, it was not held at Wofford but in Ft Mill or Rock Hill, or somewhere similar. Kerry Collins was the first draft pick and there were no more than a few hundred spectators. Anybody else here remember this?

Great

Someone on eBay recently put up a "DeShaun Foster" replica jersey that was clearly a Barry Foster jersey and I kind of wanted to buy it, but I'm not spending like $40 for the jersey of a former Steelers kick returner who ran for like 45 yards on 25 carries for us in the '95 preseason

The Patrick Jeffers throwback, doe

Yoooo, this too dope. Thanks for sharing this my man

I always thought we should have drafted Steve McNair, but that's neither here nor there. Hey, I just rhymed.

 

Great pics!

My two distinct memories from the first practice were how far Kerry Collins could throw the football ( like 70 yards) , and how slow and disinterested Barry Foster looked.
