The victory tour rolls on for the World Champion Cubs.
While his teammates have made appearances on talk shows around the country and department stores in the Chicagoland area, Carl Edwards Jr. now gets his chance in the spotlight.
The Carolina Panthers announced Monday the young right-handed pitcher would serve as the team's honorary Keep Pounding drummer before Thursday night's showdown with the New Orleans Saints.

Edwards grew up in Newberry, S.C., which is about 100 miles away from Bank of America Stadium, home of Cam Newton and the Panthers.
