SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil didn't intend for training camp to be the start of a farewell tour.
If he had his druthers, the five-time Pro Bowl selection would have walked away from his final camp at Wofford College and final NFL season without fanfare, then announced his retirement and vanished into the sunset.
"Cause I'm not a make-it-about-me guy," Kalil said.
But news leaked out in January that Kalil planned to call it quits after this season, which he hopes will result in another run at the Super Bowl that the Panthers fell short of winning in 2015.
