One practice into one-year deal with Panthers, Eric Reid has left an impression
The Carolina Panthers will likely start Eric Reid at safety on Sunday against the New York Giants, even though he has been in the building for just a few days.
Reid, who made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in, hasn’t seemed to have lost a step despite being out of football for the last nine months, according to his new teammates.
“He’s a big guy to play the safety position,’” veteran cornerback Captain Munnerlyn laughted. “I was like ‘You’ve got to weigh 230. ... Because he looks like he’s just been lifting weights.
“He definitely can help this football team, he can help the secondary take that next step. We can definitely use him and I’m happy we signed him.”
