SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Rookie cornerback Zack Sanchez has always had a voracious appetite.
Prior to games in college, the former Oklahoma Sooner said he would sneak chicken fingers into the locker room to satisfy his pre-game hunger.
"I felt like the more I ate, the better," Sanchez said.
He’s got plenty on his plate entering his first NFL season.
Sanchez, an outside cornerback throughout his college career, has been learning the nickel position and all of its intricacies for Carolina’s defense.
"It’s been good. It’s difficult at times," Sanchez said. "Obviously, coming from college, my sole job on the outside was, whoever their (top) guy is, that’s who you cover the whole game.
