Despite being just a third round pick, Trevin Wallace got a lot of hype entering his rookie season after a strong camp and a very strong preseason. The hype didn’t quite materialize into production over the full 18 week season, but the Carolina Panthers and their fans still have hype for the rising sophomore linebacker.
They’re not alone in that either. A pair of former all time great Panthers linebackers have taken on roles as mentors for Wallace. Shaq Thomspon, who is now with the Buffalo Bills, still talks to Wallace every day.
