SAN JOSE, Calif. – In search of position continuity that had eluded them in recent years, the Panthers invested consecutive picks in cornerbacks during the 2015 NFL Draft, taking James Bradberry in the second round and then trading up to take Daryl Worley in the third round.
The idea beyond feeling that they were the best players on the draft board was that if things worked out as hoped, the duo could learn together from Day One and hold down the outside cornerback spots for years to come.
Some harrowing parts of the learning curve still lie ahead of Bradberry and Worley, but they're both in a good place on their journey and are both excited about what waits around the bend.
