The first day of training camp is always passionate and brimming with enthusiasm. Players have been chomping at the bit to get themselves back in the groove after so long away from legitimate competition. That can often lead to some overzealous effort and a little over-exuberance as they look to make a good impression.
That proved to be the case with one incident that abruptly brought an end to the first session. Something that was also a rude awakening for rookie edge rusher Princely Umanmielen.
Carolina thought enough of Umanmielen to trade up and acquire him in the third round.
