CHARLOTTE – Offensive linemen aren't allowed to get very physical during offseason workouts, making the practice field a training ground for a rule change that will penalize players for lowering their heads to initiate contact.
"We can't get our heads in the drill," right tackle Daryl Williams said. "So we're working our technique, especially our hands."
Williams had his hands full as a rookie in 2015 learning how to be a productive NFL lineman. But now, with his rookie contract set to expire after the 2018 season, Williams has put himself in position to get his hands on more money after a 2017 season in which multiple publications handed out hardware to him.
