CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule and new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo were in almost every television shot and photograph this past week at pro days for top NFL quarterback prospects Kenny Pickett of Pittsburgh, Liberty’s Malik Willis and Mississippi’s Matt Corral.
General manager Scott Fitterer and assistant general manager Dan Morgan were almost as visible.
So either the Panthers want the NFL world to know they’re strongly considering a quarterback with the No. 6 pick of the April draft, or they’re tossing up a big smoke screen to divert attention.
