CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers rookie cornerback Daryl Worley was an easy target during and immediately following Saturday’s exhibition win at Tennessee.
After all, he gave up five catches to Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe for 62 yards.
But Carolina coach Ron Rivera didn’t sound very concerned, and with good reason. Despite giving up too much cushion, Worley quickly made the tackle after each of Sharpe’s catches and didn’t surrender a huge play.
That this was only his second NFL game and the first against a hurry-up offense, Worley’s performance doesn’t appear anything to panic about.
