What Panthers defense needs – experience, confidence, ball skills – Mike Adams brings

An NFL safety must brim with confidence, so let’s put new Carolina Panthers safety Mike Adams to the test.

OK, Mike, you went to Delaware, right? The Fighting Blue Hens? Better known as the school of Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterback Joe Flacco?

“Nah,” Adams said, laughing. “That’s not Joe Flacco’s school. That’s my school. I got there first. He came in after me. So it’s my school, and Flacco just went there.”

Now that’s the sort of thing you want to hear if you’re a Panthers fan. Adams is a little like Roman Harper 2.0 for the Panthers – just as smart and instinctive, a little bit older and, hopefully, a little better.
