At the end of a press conference Saturday at Bank of America Stadium, a reporter asked Carolina Panthers second-round pick Donte Jackson a loaded question about who is the fastest player on the team.
“Me,” Jackson said, smiling. “Donte Jackson.”
That might be true, but the Panthers’ incoming draft class could put together a pretty strong 4x100-meter relay team.
General manager Marty Hurney said during the predraft process he wanted to add speed at every position, then spent the weekend calling in picks to Dallas of players with football builds and sprinter’s numbers.
