Curtis Samuel reels in P.J. Walker's first TD pass for Panthers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers went fishing to some extent during the offseason when they signed XFL star P.J. Walker to a two-year, $1,565,000 deal.

So it seemed fitting that Carolina side receiver Curtis Samuel celebrated Walker's first NFL touchdown pass in his first NFL start by pretending to reel in a fish as he sat in right corner of the end zone.

Walker was headed for a potential XFL MVP award when the league was shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He had 15 touchdown passes during a 5-0 start for the Houston Roughnecks.
