Munnerlyn's quick success with the Panthers mirrors the impact he made as a freshman at South Carolina in 2006, when he excelled defending then-Gamecocks' star receiver Sidney Rice in practice.

"After my first practice, he gave me his number and started texting me," Munnerlyn said of Rice, who's now a starter for the Minnesota Vikings. "He was like, `I see something in you. You can be good. Stay humble and stay hungry.'"

Munnerlyn said he kept those text messages until his phone broke.

Once he came to Carolina, Smith gave him similar encouragement, which Munnerlyn embraced with almost childlike excitement.

"I was like, `This is Steve Smith! It's the NFL! This is like a dream come true!'" said Munnerlyn.

I remember that there were a whole bunch of people who said he was just "camp fodder."

Look at him now bitches.

I held out my opinon because I honestly didn't know anything about him. But I do now. I think he has preformed the best out of any of our CBs (Gamble included) during preseason and our 1st 2 games.

      I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, the overall cap percentage shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.
