SPARTANBURG
The Carolina Panthers are having March Madness in August in their training camp locker room.
The players are in the midst of their annual mini-basketball tournament, and backup quarterback Derek Anderson said it’s coming down to the final eight competitors.
“Currently all three quarterbacks are still in it,” Anderson said triumphantly Saturday at Wofford College. “I don’t know if anybody cares. Got a big Elite 8 matchup coming up, probably tonight, after walk-through.”
The tournament is in its ninth season. The rookies create the bracket, the offensive linemen run the tournament and center Ryan Kalil is the commissioner.
