Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Corral says chip on shoulder 'bigger' after draft slip

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Matt Corral says the chip he's always played with "got even bigger'' when he fell to the third round of the NFL draft.

"A hundred percent,'' Corral said on Friday, the first day of Carolina's three-day rookie camp. "[Draft night] was for sure a rollercoaster. It was a bunch of mixed emotions. When I got that phone call I have never truly been happy and sad at the same time. I have never felt that before.''

Corral offered no explanation on why he slipped from a projected first-round pick to No.
