According to Jourdan Rodrigue, Joseph Person and Scott Fowler of The Charlotte Observer, third-year Carolina Panthers WR Devin Funchess is standing out in training camp:
“Receiver Devin Funchess made several big catches and continues to have an excellent camp. Counterpart Kelvin Benjamin, who has been fairly quiet all of training camp so far, also made a big touchdown catch during team drills – though he was matched up one on one against the much-smaller nickel Captain Munnerlyn.”
While head coach Ron Rivera has stood up for Benjamin this summer against concerns of weight and being out of shape, that doesn’t mean that Funchess can’t put the heat on Benjamin.
