One of the biggest positives to take from an otherwise underwhelming preseason game against the Cleveland Browns was the performance of Carolina Panthers rookie Nic Scourton. And the edge rusher immediately outlined his ambition to take over a starting spot much quicker than anticipated.
However, one veteran potentially in the firing line won't be giving up his spot without a fight.
The Panthers are expecting more from their edge-rushing room this offseason. Dan Morgan brought three new faces into the fold, all of whom are capable of logging prominent reps. D.J. Wonnum is still around, but Jadeveon Clowney wasn't so lucky.
