Player who convinced Panthers to stand pat at edge rusher hasn’t produced anything – yet

A dominant, game-changing performance by an edge rusher won Super Bowl 50 for the Denver Broncos and won outside linebacker Von Miller MVP honors.

Had the Panthers come away with a victory, defensive end Kony Ealy might have taken home the MVP trophy after his own dominant performance as an edge rusher.

Ealy’s three sacks and his interception of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning helped convince the Panthers to stand pat and do nothing to improve their stock of edge rushers during the offseason.

But through the first six games this season, Ealy has done next to nothing, as well.
