CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule didn’t have to think long when asked what Tampa Bay and Kansas City had in common prior to Super Bowl LV.
“Elite quarterbacks with really well-invested offensive lines," Rhule said while coaching at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
Quarterback already has been an offseason focus, as league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Panthers offered the No. 8 pick, a fifth-round pick and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the Detroit Lions for quarterback Matthew Stafford. The Lions eventually decided to go with the Los Angeles Rams' trade offer.
