With two Super Bowl rings in his pocket, Torrey Smith already possesses something that every player on the Carolina Panthers would like to have.
What he is trying to earn now, however, doesn’t have anything to do with jewelry.
“I feel like I’m the new guy on the team,” Smith said after the Panthers’ first camp practice, “and I’ve got to prove (myself) all over again.”
The Panthers traded for Smith, 29, in the offseason. He’s supposed to be what Ted Ginn Jr. once was for Carolina — a deep threat who can keep NFL safeties honest and burn them occasionally.
