SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Captain Munnerlyn took one glance at the Carolina Panthers wide receivers' 40-yard times and couldn't believe what he saw.
The veteran cornerback has never seen such a compilation of speed amassed at one position on a roster in any of his 10 NFL training camps.
"Oh man, we got some fast receivers," Munnerlyn said. "I was like, 'Wow, almost everyone runs a 4.4 or lower. That's crazy.' We have some speed on this team -- and we probably needed it."
That's an understatement.
The Panthers offense stagnated last season as quarterback Cam Newton found himself with no deep threats after Ted Ginn Jr.
